Fianarantsoa holidays

To the west, the town’s backdrop is dominated by the 1374m (4506ft) Mt Kianjasoa, and the city has a real high country atmosphere and temperatures can reflect this. Fianarantsoa lies at the heart of the country's most productive agricultural region and in the 1970s a Swiss corporation realised the wine-growing potential in the surrounding country, and it is now Madagascar's leading wine-producing region as well as the main tea-growing region.
