The company NOS surprised us with The Line, the futuristic vertically developed megacity in Saudi Arabia. Now it is the turn of Trojan, a ski center in the middle of the desert!, as part of the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
All the luxury and splendor gathered in a winter oasis. But, How will they manage to work with snow in the area?
Trojena is, in the words of NEOM, “a unique travel destination in the mountains”. The project of 500 billion dollars It is an open-air ski resort, with an artificial lake.
Thus, the great sheikhs of the Persian Gulf, when they want to go skiing, will not have to travel to Switzerland: they will have their recreation center very close.
But they will not only have a ski slope, but also other sports, such as mountain biking and swimming.
And when they want to rest, they will travel to the area Vault, a kind of vertical village very much in the style of The Line, made up of restaurants, retail stores and other facilities.
At The Bow Hotel, another of NEOM’s creations in Trojena, people will have luxury resorts for the family. There will also be hotels 25 hours Y Morgan’s Original, which include spas and bath houses of 2 thousand meters.
Skiing in the middle of the desert, what is the key to Trojena, the city of the creators of The Line?
Now for the big question: How will snow be generated for skiing? And the key is in the geography of Saudi Arabia: not everything is desert and arid.
As NEOM explains, in the area there are peaks with a height higher than 2,600 meters above sea level. In these areas, the average temperature is 10 degrees Celsius lower than in most Arab cities, reaching below 0 degrees in winter.
This will be what NEOM will explode: take advantage of winter to attract families to the ski resort.
According to the company, Trojena will open its doors in 2026, and will receive the 2029 Asian Winter Games.
