Fes → Ifrane → Azrou Cedar Forest → Barbary Macaques → Fes
Nicknamed the "Switzerland of Morocco," Ifrane is a world away from the Fes medina — sloped roofs, pine-lined streets, and cool mountain air year-round. The route continues into the Middle Atlas cedar forests near Azrou, home to wild Barbary macaques.
A shorter, lower-cost route than our other Fes day trips, and an easy pick for nature lovers or anyone wanting a change of scenery from the imperial cities.
Ifrane sits at altitude and stays noticeably cooler than Fes year-round — bring a light jacket even if it's hot in the city.

Sightings of Barbary macaques near Azrou are common but not guaranteed, since they're wild animals moving through the forest.
Yes, though Ifrane occasionally sees snow in winter — a novelty for many visitors, but dress warmly and expect possible route delays after heavy snowfall.
It's our nature-focused route — shorter and lower-cost than Chefchaouen, and a good complement to the history-focused Meknes & Volubilis trip.
