This unbelievable 5-star mountain ski resort is in... Pakistan! It's the country's only ski resort, located in the once Taliban-occupied Swat Valley.

It has its own ski slope and many adventure sports like giant swing, slingshot, tubing, zip line, skiing, and snowboarding!

The Pearl Continental Hotel at Malam Jabba also has an interesting history, having been burnt down in 2008 during the Taliban's rule of this area. The Pakistan Army drove the Taliban out, and the hotel was rebuilt and opened in 2020.

The area is now considered safe, although there have been ongoing tensions between locals and the hotel. In January 2021, the owner of the Frontier Tower in Malam Jabba was arrested for hosting a dance party at the property. Some conservative locals consider dancing vulgar. Under Pakistan Penal Code Section 294, you can be charged for "annoying others by singing, dancing, or uttering obscene songs, ballads or words in a public place." So, if you go, remember that the Swat Valley is still very conservative.
