Ifrane is located at an elevation of 1,665 m (5,463 ft). The modern town of Ifrane was established by the French administration in 1928. It is also an “imperial city”, a mountain resort, a provincial administrative center, and a college town. It is known for the sculpture of a lion in a park of the city.
Park La Prairie is located in Ifran
Ifran is a very unique place in Morocco
the city build like a alpine city, a lot of sky places so all the city looks like European place
It was carved by a German soldier during WORLD WIDE 2, when Ifrane was used briefly as a prisoner-of-war camp.
a lot of people trying to make photo with the lion it is something of a ritual for Moroccan day
all the area in nice with European style, parks to seat and enjoy the place, restaurants and cafe
We stopped here as a "Rest Stop". What an unusual place - an Alpine mountain resort in Morocco. Completely unexpected. As others have remarked - would be at home in the Alps. A tourist resort for the very wealthy with its own airport. However it is clearly a place where ordinary Moroccans come for a day visit. Very relaxed friendly atmosphere.
We were told that this lovely little town with lots of small parks is a college town. People were friendly and there were plenty of shops and cafes. Enjoy.
just getting away from the heat of Fes for the day was worth it. While 30℃ may not seem cool. Compared to 40+ it was like night and day. Kids loved the park. While it looks amazing in winter covered in snow. It still looks so different from Morocco in general that it's still nice in summer.
Many parks alongside the square with the lion and fountains so can let the kids run around as much as they want. Nothing to with history of the amzigh ppl or anything rather a fancy whim of the king but a nice day out nonetheless
I am not sure ifs its the same place, i am reviewing the main square of Ifrane, which is also a garden and is further surrounded by many more gardens. The square has a fountain and a picturesque lion statue. On one side there is a street running inside the town with restaurants lined up. We visited in the morning hours in January, unfortunately there was no snowfall this year so we missed the white. The trees were done up with decorative lights but being morning we missed out on that also. We did get to hear music playing over the fountain which gave the place a magical atmosphere.
