We stop at a viewpoint, walk a short forest path, and have lunch in Ifrane or a Berber village restaurant. Back in Fes by late afternoon. Families and older travelers like this day because the walking is optional and the scenery is immediate.
Pickup from your riad or hotel in Fes, a private vehicle and driver, and stops where you want them. Lunch is chosen on the road so you only pay for what you order.
We collect you from your riad or hotel in Fes and drop you back in the evening.
Wear comfortable shoes for medina lanes and optional village walks.
Everything can be adapted to your preferences. We work with family-run stays and local guides.
