Luxemburry / Tourism
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.
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.
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.
The four resorts, their runs, and the Realm Ski Pass.
Paths, the shrine, the summit, and Lake Aurelia.
The five towns, the seven villages, and the inns.
Getting here from France, Germany, and Switzerland, money, and the calendar.
The capital: Charter Square, the cathedral, the feast.
The days worth planning around.
