The
Chalet offers comfortable accommodation in a unique adventure
stopover. Four comfortable double rooms, (some with bunks), four
rondavels as well as a spacious self-contained backpacking dorm in a
separate building , and a glowing fire in the pub and dinning room all
add to the experience, allowing one to relish at the panoramic views
of Africa and Lesotho.
The
Sani Pass - the only route up from South Africa - is only accessible via
4x4 and offers a bumpy, if not exciting trip to the chalet. Visitors will
delight in the unique alpine flora around the chalet and appreciate the
warmth of the smiling people of the Mountain Kingdom. A variety of
activities will keep visitors entertained from hiking up
Thabana-Ntlenyana (3482m) - southern Africa's highest peak, to pony
trekking and fishing. During the winter months, skiing and snowboarding
are offered, provided it snows. This remote and romantic part of Africa
is a world heritage site, the rugged mountains bearing testament to all
that have past before them.
