Ifrane

Located in the Middle Atlas mountains, Ifrane is an oasis of coolness and greenery. Lakes, fountains – the feeling of being away from it all is complete, surprising and rejuvenating. From the moment you arrive in Ifrane, there is an overriding feeling of freshness. Wide avenues, parks, European-style villas – here you will discover a little-known side of North Africa. There is an abundance of springs and lakes in this region at the heart of a dense cedar forest. The sloped-roof chalets are astonishingly reminiscent of Switzerland. This makes for an infinitely enjoyable break. On the Azrou road to the south-east, a large number of dormant volcanoes make up the countryside around Ito, a rocky landscape which reminds many people at dusk of lunar craters.

Sightseeing in the region: The Vittel spring and its waterfalls are an ideal walking destination. Follow the river a few hundred metres and come to the forest of maples and poplars through which the spring flows. In the summer, short trips on horseback are offered to the waterfalls. The Blue mausoleum is a few kilometres along the Meknès road, you will come to the mausoleum of a marabout, a religious man from the 16th century, Sidi Abdesslam. Covered in blue zelliges mosaics, the mausoleum is an important place of pilgrimage, tucked away in a valley covered in cypress and olive trees. A little higher up than the village, several dozen ancient troglodytic dwellings are still used as stables or storage areas.

Skiing - Ifrane, perched at an altitude of 1650m, provides freshness in summer and snow in winter. The ski resort of Michlifen, 19km south of the town, and the slopes of Mount Hebri have great slopes to hurtle down once the chill sets in. A unique experience and possibilities of cozy accommodation right at the foot of the slopes. Fishing - one of the treasures of Ifrane is its lakes and rivers. Come pike or trout fishing in the heart of an unexpected Morocco, in preserved and unchanged surroundings. No matter what you catch, enjoy the unspoilt nature without reserve, forget stress and watch the bobbing of your cork. Fish won't be far away! Walking - take advantage of your stay in Ifrane to explore the natural areas and discover the volcanic plateaus, the mountain pastures and the splendid cedar, maple and poplar forests. Among other marvels, the Afennourir Lake spreads over nearly 1000 acres surrounded by cedar forest. It is a favourite destination for many species of rare birds.
