Ouirgane is a lovely small town nestled in the Atlas mountains equipped with surprisingly beautiful hotels. It’s a wonderful place to stop before driving the terrifying but spectacular hairpins in the Atlas mountains called the Tizi n Test. It is a pleasant base for walking, mountain-biking and horse riding. The Residence de la Roseraie is a four star resort hotel, astronomically priced, but worth every dirham. Rooms are surrounded by beautiful gardens, there are two pools, a sauna, tennis and horse-back riding. The food is fantastic. A cheaper, but attractive option is across the river at the Au Sanglier Qui Fume. There is good food to be had here also, and mules to be hired for local treks.
