After about 30 minutes, we will take the Tahanaout road towards the Tizi n'Test pass.

Whatever your riding level and comfort, your professional motorcycle guide, who is well-versed in group riding, will adapt their speed to your pace.

Halfway along this road, we will stop for a coffee break in the mountains. Your guide will have brought a thermos of hot coffee in their top case, prepared at the base in the morning.
Drinking coffee in the middle of nature in a magnificent landscape will be a memorable moment.
After this break, we will take the forest road again to find the small mountain road towards Oukaimden.
The climb to Oukaimden is a succession of bends in a dream setting until you arrive at the ski resort.
Unfortunately, this ski resort is almost no longer in operation due to a regular lack of snow.
Lunch at the summit in the heart of the ski resort (note: this is not Val d'Isère...).
After lunch, we descend towards Marrakech with another two hours of mountain roads and a final hour of flatter terrain to reach Marrakech and rejoin the city traffic.
