Visiting Ifrane - A Moroccan Alpine Village - Agadir Holiday

The little town of Ifrane with the meaning of Hideout or cave, is an urban commune of Morocco, counting  around 30 000 inhabitants and located in the Middle Atlas, at 1713 meters above sea level.

The Ifrane region constitutes a geographical area rich in wildlife and flora biodiversity, but its SIBs (Sites of biological and ecological interest) and its national park are under heavy pressure due to forest degradation, overgrazing and visitors unsophisticated as potential polluters.

On your visit to Ifran we would like to recommend some intersting local and toursitic sites to visit.

Source vittel

Source Vittel is located 3 km from Ifrane, an ideal place for relaxation and picnics with families or friends, follow the river for a few hundred meters and discover the forest of maples and poplars that flow the waters of the source, in summer, small horseback rides are proposed to reach the waterfalls.

This beautiful lake of lunar appearance is located in the heart of the Middle Atlas - less than 2 hours from the imperial city of Fez, once you're there, you'll be seduced by the pristine natural landscape that surrounds the lake - made up of centuries-old and gigantic cedar and juniper forests and panoramic sweeping shepherds with a rich birdlife of native and migratory birds, as well as other animal species, Lake Aguelmame Sidi Ali is in the middle of a volcanic plateau at an altitude of about 2050 m and formed in extinct craters.
