Tizi N Test LA BELLE VUE HOTEL Cafe Restaurant 2100M alt

Twelve hundred metres of elevation gain separate Taroudant from this pass-top cafe-hotel at Tizi n Test, 2100m up the High Atlas road linking the Souss valley to Marrakech. Rooms are simple, but the terrace and outdoor fireplace face a full ridge-line panorama, a natural stop for drivers crossing the pass rather than a destination stay in itself.

Hiking routes lead directly from the property, and themed dinners replace a fixed menu when advance notice allows. Upper floors are stairs-only, worth noting for guests with luggage. Airport shuttle and 24-hour front desk cover the practical side of an otherwise remote mountain address.
