The resort has given disappointed guests an option for a refund regarding the closed ski slopes this year; however, for your money’s worth, the resort also caters to other breath-taking activities and treats that would leave you asking for more and ultimately forgetting about the slopes.

THE ACTIVITIES TO FIND AT THE LESOTHO RESORT

According to the Afriski Mountain Resort, besides the slopes, they also offer zipping and hiking among other activities.

“We still invite you to enjoy a winter holiday in the quiet of the Maluti mountains. Natural snowfall will still occur on some days, allowing for other winter activities to be enjoyed.”
