位于莱索托的Afriski山地度假村是撒哈拉以南非洲唯一完全运营的滑雪胜地,近年来吸引了大量来自南部非洲地区的滑雪爱好者。1该度假村利用人工造雪技术克服天气限制,依托莱索托高地的自然条件,为游客提供滑雪体验。1莱索托海拔在1,000米以上,高地气温通常在6月至8月降至零下8摄氏度。1
度假村CEO Theo Ferreira表示,近70%的游客来自南非。12025年该度假村单日游客纪录超过1,600人。1旅游业已成为莱索托经济的重要组成部分,去年旅游业占该国约26亿美元GDP的7%。1
Afriski Mountain Resort, located in Lesotho's Butha-Buthe region, stands as the sole fully operational ski resort in sub-Saharan Africa, drawing increasing numbers of winter sports enthusiasts from across southern Africa 1. The facility has become a significant tourism draw for the country, with tourism accounting for approximately 7% of Lesotho's gross domestic product of around $2.6 billion in the previous year 1.
Nearly 70% of the resort's visitors originate from South Africa, according to Afriski CEO Theo Ferreira 1. The resort achieved a single-day visitor record exceeding 1,600 guests in 2025, demonstrating growing interest in the destination 1.
Afriski's success relies partly on artificial snowmaking to overcome regional climate limitations. Lesotho's high elevation—areas exceed 1,000 meters—creates conditions where high-altitude temperatures typically drop to minus 8 degrees Celsius during the June through August winter months, enabling winter sports operations 1.
