winter sports
Lesotho’s highlands are a winter wonderland with the Maluti mountains covered in snow every year. It now boasts the only Ski resort in Southern Africa, at Afri-ski (www.afri-ski.net), in the Mahlasela region of Lesotho. This is a popular resort that operates between May and August (inclusively) every year.
Afri-ski also hosts the Kings Cup Ski competition every XXX, with thousands attending the event. Whilst this may be the only ski resort, Lesotho has numerous visitors from the surrounding countries who come to see and experience the snow. The temperatures are very low and warm clothing is recommended. Some of the roads in the highlands can become impassable and therefore caution must be exercised at all times. |
