Ifrane

Alpine architecture · cedar nature · mountain air — a cool university town high in the Middle Atlas

Highlights

• Alpine Architecture: Red pitched roofs, chalet style, and green lawns designed by the French in the 1930s — completely different from the rest of Morocco
• Cedar Forest & Barbary Macaques: The nearby Cèdre Gouraud cedar forest (near Azrou) with famous Barbary macaques that eat straight from tourists' hands
• Cool Mountain Air: At 1650 m altitude, Ifrane offers a welcome escape from the heat of Fez and Marrakesh — also a ski area in winter
