ATLAS MOUNTAINS EXPEDITION

Cyclist in the Atlas Mountains
Overview

The Atlas Mountains Expedition is BRV’s fully supported gravel adventure through the heart of Morocco’s High Atlas, designed for riders who want to experience one of the world’s most spectacular mountain ranges beyond the tourist trail.

Over seven days and eight nights, the route links remote Berber villages, high mountain passes, desert plateaus and hidden valleys, combining unforgettable riding with genuine cultural immersion. Inspired by years of ultra-distance racing and refined through previous guided expeditions, it offers the perfect balance between challenge and support.

This is not a luxury resort holiday. It is a real expedition where riders experience Morocco as it truly is – sharing traditional meals, sleeping in authentic accommodation and riding through landscapes that feel untouched by time.

Accommodation, logistics and luggage transfers are fully supported by our local team, with dedicated vehicles providing mechanical assistance, supplies and camp or hotel setup throughout the journey. Riders are free to focus on the experience while still enjoying the freedom and satisfaction of self-sufficient riding during each stage.

Routes may be adapted depending on weather, trail conditions and group ability to ensure the safest and most rewarding experience possible.
