Invitation to travel
The Trek des Gazelles By Mélanie takes you to discover the splendid Ifrane National Park located in the heart of the Middle Atlas Mountains at an altitude of over 1,600 meters.
Nicknamed the Little Swiss of Morocco, the town of Ifrane is a World Heritage Site due to the architecture of its Alpine-style chalets.
Its natural park is home to more than half of Morocco's terrestrial biodiversity, including the emblematic Atlas blue cedar, and has been listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2026.
The massif is also home to an endemic species of monkey, the Barbary macaque. Lakes, springs, and waterfalls flow from the region's mountains.
This trek promises an exceptional adventure reserved for a few pioneers fascinated by these surprising territories.
