ATLAS GRAN FONDO 2025

How about escaping the dreariness of November this year? Taroudant welcomes you for more than just a cycling race 🚴. The Atlas Gran Fondo is an adventure deep into the heart of Morocco, among mountains, palm groves, and Berber villages. It's your chance to ride through spectacular landscapes, push your limits, and discover the rich Moroccan culture 🇲🇦.

Five distances, five ways to fall in love with Morocco 😍. The bravest will tackle the 120 km route, designed for steel thighs 🦿: 1800 meters of elevation gain, winding ascents, endless mountain passes, and a finale that tests both your mind and muscles 💥. If you want to experience the Gran Fondo without collapsing in the desert, the 80 km offers a robust compromise with 1100 mD+, grandiose panoramas, and tough gravel sections 💪. The 40 km with 287 mD+ lets you breathe while keeping the spirit of adventure (and scenic views 😌). And to ensure no one is left out, there's even a family race of 13 km 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦. But the experience doesn't stop at the finish line ✋. Upon arrival, Taroudant welcomes you with its vibrant activity village: live concerts 🎶, gourmet stands 🫔, local artisans, and traditional hammams 🧖 to reward your tired legs 😮‍💨. For those wanting the full experience, there's the Bike & Bed: 2, 3, or 4 days stays to ride, explore, and enjoy without any hassle. Arrive, drop off your stuff, and everything's taken care of: 4-star accommodation ⭐️, luggage transport 🧳, meals 🍽️, mechanical support, and most importantly, professional guidance from the first to the last pedal stroke 🤩. Each day begins with a group warm-up or a recon session 🧐. You explore key segments of the route, receive personalized technical advice, adapt to the terrain, and build confidence 🫣. No more excuses, you'll have everything you need to shine on race day! 😎

As for post-race activities, immerse yourself in history by visiting this charming city nicknamed "the little Marrakech"🏘️. Wander through its bustling souks and admire its majestic ramparts 🕌. You will also have the opportunity to discover the Oasis of Tioute, a green jewel 🌱. If local architecture fascinates you, head to observe La Kasbah de Taliouine, an impressive fortress 😮. And if you love waking up your taste buds, you're in the right place! 🌶️ Morocco is brimming with specialties: Tajine, chermoula, harira... and a good mint tea for recovery ☕️.

Your bike has never been more eager to hit the road, right? 💨
