Afriski Opens Today

1st June 2025

The ski area in Lesotho is the only ski resort in Southern Africa likely to open this year.

It sits at 3,222m and relies on its snowmaking system.

Despite limited natural snowfall, consistent overnight temperatures below freezing and modern snow guns allow the resort to open.

It is usually open from June the end of August.

Tiffindell Ski Resort is the only other ski area in Southern Africa, but it is currently up for sale and may not open this year.
