Hike up Mount Zalagh - a perfect day out from Fes
We escape from Fes medina by foot at 9am from Bab Gissa gate and head for the summit of Mt Zalagh. Within minutes we go from the hustle & bustle of the city to the beauty of the countryside - crossing the river, passing through rich farm land, and olive groves.
As we ascend further, the view just gets better, we pass though wild flower meadows + umbrella pine glades littered with wild orchids, past fig & almond trees until and then the summit at 900m above sea level - the most amazing panoramic view across the city Fes, the Saiss valley, the Middle Atlas + beyond.
We’ll grab a snack at the top, There is one opportunity to stop in a tiny village / hamlet for tea - but there are no shops at all. so please bring some water + snacks. The route takes about 5-7 hours in all, obviously depending on your pace and we’ll end up where we started at Bab Gissa.
I’d classify this hike as “ medium" - there are one or two scrambles - but really nothing too challenging, + the route we’ll take has reasonably good paths throughout.
If you fancy something a bit different, a challenge and to experience the Fessi countryside like never before. I would love to share with you my favourite route. Please don’t hesitate to message me or make a booking & I’d be delighted hike with you and show you my Fes
