The "Switzerland of Morocco", the Barbary macaques of the cedar forest and the Berber market town of Azrou.
A green and fresh escape from the medina of Fes. Ifrane surprises with its alpine houses and gardens, and in the cedar forest of Azrou you meet the Barbary macaques in the wild.
A green and peaceful day, perfect after the intensity of the medina. It is especially beautiful in spring, when the meadows are in flower, and in winter, when snow covers the cedars.
Children love meeting the macaques; please do not feed them, as it harms their health.
Drive into the Middle Atlas and walk in the town and gardens of Ifrane.
An hour from Fes, Ifrane is a clean, green town of chalets with sloping roofs, built in the style of the Alps and surrounded by gardens and lakes. In winter it is often covered with snow.
The great cedars of Azrou and the macaques, with lunch in the town.
In the great cedar forest near Azrou you walk among trees hundreds of years old and meet the Barbary macaques, the only wild monkeys of North Africa. Lunch in Azrou, a Berber market town famous for its cedar wood crafts.
Return through the lakes and villages of the Middle Atlas.
On the way back you pass the lakes of the Middle Atlas and the Berber villages of the plateau, arriving in Fes in the late afternoon.
