Transfer from Marrakech to Imlil and Ride to Imi Oughlad
Your adventure starts in the vibrant Moroccan city of Marrakech. From here, you’ll transfer an hour and<br />half to the small village of Imlil, nestled high up in the Atlas Mountains. Your expert local guide is your key to unlocking the region’s fantastic riding potential. The<br /> ride starts with a climb to get the legs going. After a pause for mint tea at the top, it’s onto<br /> some great singletrack, passing through local villages. A pleasant riverbed makes for a great lunch spot before the dusty Moroccan single track continues. A last short climb gets you to the final descent of the day heading into the village of Imi Oughelad where you will find your gite for the night.
