Motorcycle tour of Morocco – La Bergerie

A day trip to climb to La Bergerie.

It offers a concentration of spectacular landscapes, crossing the Agafay Desert and the small mountain roads of the High Atlas.

This trip is the longest of our one-day trips, with a riding time of around 7 hours, and is reserved for the most experienced motorcyclists.

The highlight of the day will be lunch in the mountains at our friend Ali's sheep farm, which will be open especially for us.

We recommend this tour for motorcyclists who have already ridden in Marrakech and want to go on a longer road trip to discover the landscapes of the High Atlas Mountains.

All our full-day rides are offered as all-inclusive packages.

You won't have to spend a single penny during your day.

Your lunch is booked at a restaurant or a typical, authentic, and noteworthy spot.

Your guide will provide complete logistical and mechanical support in all circumstances.

Your guide carries everything needed to repair a puncture, the necessary tools for emergency repairs, and essential spare parts in their top case.

You'll benefit from professional support throughout your ride, with a carefully planned and safe route, and premium service from start to finish.

Group sizes are intentionally limited to guarantee a high-quality experience, personalized to your skill level.

We can offer a private transportation service that will pick you up directly from your accommodation and take you to the Rider Maroc base. The same private driver will bring you back in the evening.

Meet at 9 a.m. at our base and meet your guide.

A welcome snack awaits you, including tea, coffee, orange juice, dried fruit, and cakes.

Full briefing with your guide, who will explain the safety instructions and the specifics of driving in Morocco so that you can leave Marrakech with complete peace of mind.

Check of mandatory administrative documents (copies of passports and driver's licenses) and signing of rental and equipment insurance documents.

You will choose your helmet and gloves from those provided and familiarize yourself with your motorcycles, which are waiting for you, ready to share these few days of road trip.

Departure no later than 9:30 a.m. (we must not linger, as there will be a lot of driving today) for this long day of motorcycle riding dedicated to pleasure and discovery.

We will leave Marrakech as quickly as possible, crossing the industrial district.

After about 30 minutes, we will take the Amizmiz road towards Lake Lalla Takerkoust.

Just before reaching the lake, we will turn right towards the Agafay Desert.

At the edge of the desert (a rocky desert, as there is no sandy desert in Marrakech), we stop for a coffee prepared that morning at the base, which your guide has brought with him in a thermos.

Together, we can discuss your impressions of riding your new motorcycles, and you can share your first, inevitable anecdotes about traffic in Marrakech.

We will cross the Agafay Desert, an unmissable attraction when spending a few days in Marrakech.

Whatever your riding level and comfort, your guide, a true motorcycle professional who is perfectly accustomed to group riding, will adapt his speed to your pace.

Around noon, we will arrive at the foot of the mountain and begin the first switchbacks, then descend towards Lake Taskourt.

We will drive along the entire lake and then take the small, winding and beautiful mountain roads.

You will need to stay focused on your driving and the condition of the road, as the quality of small mountain roads in Morocco is not far from off-road conditions in Europe.

We will arrive at La Bergerie around 2 p.m., where lunch will be waiting for us. The table will be set, and they will be waiting for us with a traditional tagine or homemade grilled chicken, which we will have ordered for you the day before.

After lunch, we headed back down to Marrakech, with another three hours of mountain roads and a final hour of flatter terrain to reach Marrakech and rejoin the city traffic.

We returned to base at around 6:30 p.m., marking the end of a day of motorcycling, fun, and camaraderie.

We shared a drink at the base bar to relive the highlights of the day.

Our greatest satisfaction: your smiles at the end of this little road trip

Private transfer to your riad or hotel if you have opted for private transportation.

For those who wish to extend the adventure, we can arrange additional nights in Marrakech or elsewhere, notably on the shores of Lake Lalla Takerkoust, at our friend Jean-Charles's place, at Flouka, for a totally relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It is also possible to organize a half-day cultural tour with an official guide to discover the most beautiful sites in Marrakech.
