Ifrane is a sleepy but rather dreamlike town perched in the Middle Atlas Mountains. It has been given the name "Little Switzerland" because of its picturesque house-making style, its blooming parks, and its mild mountain climate. This little town is so different from the country's arid as well as coastal regions. The French were the ones who constructed the town back in the 1930s, which is the main reason why it has European character, boulevards with trees, and red-roofed homes. Peaceful walks to Al Akhawayn University and the town's well-kept gardens and talking to the Lion Stone Statue, which had been crafted by a German soldier in World War II, are some of the activities the visitors can do. The winter season comes with the nearby Michlifen Ski Resort for skiing and snowboarding, while during the summer the cedar forests and lakes that surround Ifrane provide hiking and picnicking. Due to its peacefulness, mild weather, and beautiful scenery, Ifrane has become a favorite sanctuary for both the locals and the tourists—it is a great spot for anyone who is visiting Morocco's Middle Atlas area.
