Ifrane in December
Not the best time

Weather
December ushers in winter's return with cold days and frequent rain that occasionally turns to snow. Frost becomes common in the early morning hours, and the mountain air feels sharp and clean. Some years bring significant snowfall by month's end.

All Months
Spring and fall are perfect. April through June brings wildflowers and comfortable hiking weather. September and October offer crisp mornings and golden afternoons that make you want to stay forever.
Winter transforms Ifrane into something magical, but also challenging. Snow falls regularly from December through February, and temperatures drop below freezing. The town gets quiet as many restaurants close or reduce hours. But if you've ever wanted to see snow in Morocco, this is your chance.
Summer brings Moroccan families escaping the heat of Fez and Casablanca. Hotels fill up and prices spike. The weather's pleasant, but the town loses some of its peaceful charm. July and August feel more like a Moroccan beach resort than a mountain retreat.
