La Belle Vue

High Atlas Mountains


On the southern side of the Tizi n'Test pass, the van-cum-pottery shop embedded into the hillside is your cue for a pit stop at this cafe. The balcony offers stunning valley views of green terraces and cypress forests cascading down the hillside – a prime spot for a beef or goat tajine.

If you've always dreamed of waking up to a view like this, there are a handful of basic rooms with shared toilets (Dh300) available upstairs.
