A full day of riding in the High Atlas, starting from Imlil. The climb to Tizi n'Tamatert, at about 2,300 m, comes first; the reward is a long descent through the Imnane valley and its villages to Asni.
It suits intermediate riders who are comfortable climbing and descending on mountain trails. The ground is a mix of tarmac, gravel and technical single track.
