Trojena, a new mountain resort that will be part of the massive NEOM project, is now being planned. This will be an all-year ski resort in Saudi Arabia. This ski resort will be situated in the highest mountains 50 kilometres from the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, at roughly 2,600 metres above sea level. The Saudi ski resort is expected to be completed by 2030, creating over 10,000 job opportunities and contributing 3 billion riyals to the Kingdom’s GDP.
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said “Trojena will redefine mountain tourism for the world by creating a place based on the principles of ecotourism, highlighting our efforts to preserve nature and enhance the community’s quality of life, which is aligned with the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.”
Trojena will have a man-made freshwater lake, The Bow hotel, and a vertical settlement constructed into the mountain, in addition to a year-round ski resort. Along with traditional winter sports like snowboarding and skiing, Trojena will also provide a variety of summer activities such as paragliding, mountain biking and climbing. This resort will also be used for high-altitude training, Ironman competitions, and yoga retreats.
