Set against the massive basalt cliffs and soaring sandstone buttresses of South Africa's breathtaking Drakensberg Mountains, it's easy to see why Alpine Heath is a very popular resort.
The luxurious Afro-Swiss chalets are a comfortable and relaxing retreat from which to soak up the beautiful panoramic views of this World Heritage Site. A dip in the pool or a set or two in the gym, the choice is yours. If you're after something more relaxing, then time in the spa will suit you perfectly. There are also an excellent variety of other active options for all ages, like squash, table tennis and trampolines.
In spring, the hillsides are a blaze of pink and orange wildflowers, whilst in autumn the lower reaches of the mountains are waist-high in a sea of confetti-like pink, white and red cosmos blossoms. Explore the great outdoors with fun activities like horse riding, fishing and mountain biking. Alternatively, take a helicopter ride and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the cascading natural magnificence of Tugela Falls - the world's second highest waterfall. Hiking across the lush veldt is the best way to explore the Spion Kop Battlefields and uncover its surprising participants. Spiritually and culturally sated, you can retire to your Chalet, sip a chilled sun-downer on the balcony and try spotting an antelope, whilst enormous bearded vultures soar majestically overhead and baboons bark a serenade from the cliffs.
Staying at Alpine Heath is not a holiday; it's a life-affirming experience.
