Itinerary
After a morning transfer from Marrakech to Demnate, your adventure begins. Enjoy mint tea at Imi n’Ifri before your first pedal strokes towards Imi n’Ouaqqua (1,900 m). A smooth warm-up on asphalt leads into rugged mountain trails through juniper forests.
Dinner and overnight in a cozy guesthouse nestled in the “Happy Valley”—a green oasis surrounded by towering peaks.
Today, you ride deeper into the Bouguemez Valley, known as the “Happy Valley,” toward Ifrane, the last village before the ascent of Tizi n’Tirghist Pass (2,629 m).
As you climb, breathtaking views unfold over the M’Goun massif (4,068 m). Descend into the Ighil n’Oussamsouq Valley, following its winding stream, before climbing again through the “Valley of Petrified Trees.”
Your descent to Zaouiat Ahensal—a stunning stone village surrounded by mountains—marks the end of an epic day. Overnight in a local lodge.
The route follows the stream through remote gorges and dramatic scenery. Gradually climb along balcony trails offering panoramic views of Taghia, Morocco’s climbing paradise.
Soon, the rock giant known as “The Cathedral” appears—a spectacular cliff formation dominating the valley. Descend to your riverside lodge and, if you wish, hike or ride a loop at the foot of the Cathedral for an unforgettable sunset.
Enjoy your final ride along scenic tracks to Tillouguite, an ancient French garrison. Continue along a quiet asphalt road to Ouaouizaghte, where you’ll enjoy lunch overlooking Bin El Ouidane Lake.
Afterward, transfer back to Marrakech, arriving late afternoon. Time to celebrate your High Atlas Raid adventure with your riding companions!
