Greetings to everyone looking upward, toward mountain peaks that just a few years ago were mere silent rocks, and today have become an engineering miracle the whole world is talking about. It is 2026, and from the heart of “NEOM,” specifically the mountainous “Trojena” region, we bring you news that is truly “cool”—literally! Remember when Saudi Arabia announced it would host the 2029 Asian Winter Games? Back then, the world was skeptical, asking: “How can there be snow and winter games in the middle of the desert?” Today, in 2026, Trojena has answered everyone with the completion of its main facilities and the sports village, becoming a dream realized above the clouds. The scene there is not just about “snow”; it’s a breathtaking blend of rugged mountain nature and future technologies that make you feel as if you are on another planet, all achieved by Saudi hands and minds that turned the “impossible” into just another viewpoint.
In 2026, “Trojena” is no longer just a project on paper; it is a reality we live at an altitude reaching 2,600 meters above sea level. The facilities completed today include the “Vertical Village,” architecturally designed to blend buildings seamlessly into the mountains, and a massive freshwater lake—the largest man-made lake in the region. What truly amazes you is the “climate”; in 2026, Trojena succeeded in creating an environment that allows for both natural and artificial skiing for long periods of the year, thanks to winter temperatures that drop below zero and sustainable cooling technologies used by NEOM. The slopes and tracks dedicated to skiing have been completed according to the highest “International Ski Federation” standards, ready to welcome champions from Asia and the world to experience the “fastest ski tracks” on the continent.
Speaking of “The Vault,” it is the beating heart of Trojena in 2026. It is a village folded inside the mountain, combining residential, entertainment, and innovation hubs. A traveler or athlete visiting Trojena today can experience a full “digital life”; from entering a room managed by AI to stepping onto a ski slope that monitors their safety moment by moment. The beauty of Trojena in 2026 is that it has become a “year-round” destination; while there is skiing in the winter, in the summer you can enjoy mountain hiking and mountain biking in a pleasant climate that doesn’t exceed 25 degrees Celsius, making it the premier escape from the Gulf’s summer heat.
As for the preparations for the Asian Winter Games, Saudi Arabia in 2026 has proven it is ready now. The Olympic Village, whose facilities are complete, includes housing for over 5,000 athletes and officials, equipped with the latest amenities and training tools. The logistical connectivity is stunning; NEOM’s private airport connects you to Trojena in minutes via electric transport and “flying taxis” that soar over the peaks in a scene straight out of a movie. In 2026, this project has created thousands of high-quality jobs in mountain hospitality, sports event management, and environmental technologies, becoming the dream of every young Saudi to work at the “top of the world” in Trojena.
The economic impact of Trojena in 2026 has begun to manifest in luxury tourism figures. The region has attracted major international hotels that opened “exclusive” branches there, becoming the preferred destination for global conferences and those seeking rejuvenation in a pristine environment. Trojena in 2026 is the message that Saudi Arabia is not just sand and sea; it is a nation of immense geographical and climatic diversity, capable of taming nature for the service of humanity and sports. Today, we are building a sporting legacy that will last for generations, and Trojena is the “crown jewel” of NEOM that will bring the whole world to see how snow can shine under the Saudi sun with pride and dignity.
Is skiing in Trojena only available for professionals and athletes? Not at all. In 2026, Trojena opened world-class ski schools for all levels, from children and beginners to professionals. There are dedicated tracks for every category, and the instructors are both Saudi and international, ready to teach you the basics in a very safe environment. You can bring your family and enjoy the snow and play with total ease.
What ensures that the snow stays in Trojena despite being in a region known for its heat? The secret in 2026 lies in “location” and “technology.” Trojena’s geographical location makes it the coolest area in the Kingdom. Combined with “sustainable snowmaking” technologies that rely on recycled water and clean energy, the complex can maintain high-quality ski tracks throughout the winter season with minimal resource consumption.
In concluding our journey over the peaks of NEOM for 2026, we can say that “Trojena” is the new title of Saudi willpower. The completion of the main facilities is a promise kept and a major step toward hosting a historic edition of the Asian Winter Games. Today, we prove to the world that our limits are the stars, our ambition has no ceiling, and we are capable of combining mountain snow with the warmth of Saudi welcome and hospitality. Prosperity to NEOM, and prosperity to our Kingdom, which has become a global destination in every season and for every sport. See you at the summit—see you in Trojena!
