The terrain is mountainous and the scenery inspiring, like falling into an ancient world. Raw mountainsides with their earthy toned villages, dotted with indigo coloured doors and impressive Kasbahs (castle like fortress made of sun baked mud) rise out of vivid green trees. Here we meet with the local Berbers.

DAY 7 (Friday):

Wow already the last day?!  Starting the day with a short transfer to the northern side of the Atlas, where we will have time for a quick visit to the fortress of Aït Benhaddou. Then we head to the last trail of the trip. Almost 30km of downhill singletrack freeride out of the Northern Atlas! Surrounded with pine woods, we encounter swooping corners, red dirt, spongy pine needles and skids whilst slaloming through the trees. A fine way to end this epic adventure.
