The ski season is under way in Lesotho with AfriSki open for snow sports through in to August or September.

But year round snow sports may be coming to the mountainous kingdom that’s surrounded by South Africa if a planned Ski Trac and Space Dome are built in the highlands of Lesotho as part of a government initiative to increase tourism in that country.

A major ski resort is planned near Sani Top, the highest points of the local mountain range, the Ski Trac extending the season from three months to a year-round attraction.

This resort will be tilted towards the high end of the resort market, making the most of its clear air health benefits, lakes, five/six star hotels, golf courses, mountain walks, panning for diamonds, walking tracks into the nearby conservation area and much more.

A push is reported to be under way to make this the world's first Ski Trac.
