Depart Casablanca and enjoy a scenic drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains towards Ifrane. Watch the city fade behind you as the landscape transforms into rolling hills and lush cedar forests. Along the way, your guide will point out traditional Berber villages, explain the local way of life, and share fascinating insights into the history and culture of this stunning region. Every turn offers a new photo opportunity and a deeper connection to Morocco’s natural and cultural heritage.
Arrive in Ifrane, often called “Little Switzerland” for its European-style architecture and alpine atmosphere. Established in the 1930s during the French protectorate, this hill station was designed to escape the summer heat of the plains, and its tidy streets and manicured gardens still charm visitors today.
Begin your exploration at Al Akhawayn University, a modern English-language liberal arts campus founded in 1995. Admire the red-tiled roofs, lush lawns, and classical architecture as you stroll through the grounds. Your guide will share stories about the university’s role in Moroccan education and its unique blend of Moroccan and European influences.
Afterward, wander through the peaceful town centre of Ifrane, taking in the Alpine-inspired houses, tree-lined streets, and public squares. Observe the seamless fusion of Moroccan traditions and European design, a rare sight that makes Ifrane truly unique.
In the afternoon, we visit Dayet Aoua Lake, a serene high-altitude lake surrounded by cedar forests and mountain peaks. Covering around 140 hectares at 1,460 metres above sea level, the lake is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike.
Take a gentle walk around the lake to capture panoramic views, spot migratory and local bird species, and discover the region’s rich flora, including holm oaks and towering Atlantic cedars. Your guide will share stories of local wildlife and the lake’s place in the traditions of nearby villages. This is a perfect moment to breathe in the crisp mountain air and immerse yourself in Morocco’s natural beauty.
As the afternoon light softens, we journey back to Casablanca. Reflect on a day filled with alpine charm, cedar forests, and tranquil waters. You’ll return with a camera full of memories, a fresh sense of Morocco’s hidden landscapes, and stories to share from a day that showcases the country’s most peaceful and picturesque corners. This is an experience you won’t forget, and one you’ll want to take home with you.
