Insane look at world’s first ‘vertical ski village’ in Saudi Arabia

Descripción:

A stark, mountainous moonscape in the middle of the desert is the site of the Saudi Prince’s next unthinkable $14 trillion project. The enormous Trojena mountain retreat sits 2500 m high on Jebel al Lawz in northwest Saudi Arabia and is being touted as the world’s first vertical ski village. At its heart are 30 km of artificial ski slopes winding above towering hotels, villas and shopping malls, with artificial snow machines fed by an artificial lake containing 57 billion litres of water.
