Visiting the Realm of Luxemburry

Halen. The Realm is small, high, and open to visitors in every season, on skis from December 1 to April 15 and on foot and on the water from May. Everything is within a morning of Valdoria.

Winter

Four resorts: Cinder Peak above Purgnar, the largest; Bonic in the Eastern Peaks, the steepest; Aurelia Ridge above the lake; and the Valdoria Family Slopes ten minutes from Charter Square. All four open on December 1 when the High Warden reaches the bottom of the Cinder and close on April 15. Every citizen holds the Realm Ski Pass; visitors buy a pass at any resort or at the Treasury window.

Summer

Lake Aurelia for swimming, sailing, and the harbour at Verdian; the path from Purgnar to the shrine at the base of Mount Cinder; the summit path, five hours; the forest of the March; and the larches of the Valdoria Valley in October.
