In
all seasons Laqlouk is notable for
its starkly beautiful scenery,
dramatic views and interesting rock
formations. Near the town is a large
hotel, which is surrounded by flower
gardens and pine trees. The air,
especially in summer, is said to be
like wine.
The
Laqlouk ski resort, established in
the early 1960’s, is known for its
family atmosphere. At 1,920 meters,
it has good ski lifts, as well as
chalets, night clubs and other
facilities.
Not
far from the village is the
spectacular sink hole of Houet
Baatara, known locally as the
Ballouaa or “drain.” A
walk over moderately rough terrain
of about half a kilometer brings you
to a huge open cavern 255 meters
deep with three natural bridges. A
river disappears into the cave,
never to be seen again, hence its
name “drain.” Besides the
sink hole, which will take a good
deal of time to investigate, the
surrounding hills invite
exploration. This is a pleasant
place for a picnic as well.
