NEOM has revealed plans for its first all-year-round ski resort, a futuristic, luxury mega-project located in the Kingdom’s mountains, and to be known as TROJENA. This new destination will boast its own village, wellness resorts and an ‘interactive nature reserve’.
The project includes the construction of a massive man-made freshwater lake and a ‘vertical village within the mountain’ known as The Vault. There are also plans to built ‘Slope Residences’ – lavish mansions that will look out over the artificial lake and its surroundings.
