TASS, February 20. The Clean Horizon concept, where one-story staggered buildings on the slope do not overlap the sky view, will be used for a year-round ski resort in the Arkhangelsk Region, press service of the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and Arctic said.
"This project will comply with the 'clean horizon' concept": one-story buildings would not overlap the sky, nor will there be hanging wires, all the communications will be underground," the press service said. "The buildings will be placed in a staggered manner at different heights so that they do not overlap the horizon."
The resort will have a ski slope, ski routes, hotels and restaurants. In summer, visitors will go in for rafting and kayaking, hiking in nature protected areas, mountain biking and quad biking.
"The organizers have agreed sightseeing services and combined adventure menus for travelers," the press service continued. "Final preparations for the construction are underway. The project will combine within one tourism cluster sports and entertainment, thus developing new points of attraction."
A businessman from Arkhangelsk Vyacheslav Rudalev will build the new ski resort. Under the regional Hectare program he has received for free a land plot in Krasnaya Gorka and the access to the Russian Arctic Zone's incentives to launch a new project.
The Hectare program in the Arctic is an easy mechanism to receive land plots for residential houses or businesses. Free 'hectares' are available in the Murmansk, Nenets, Yamalo-Nenets, Arkhangelsk, Krasnoyarsk, Komi and Karelia regions. More than 1 million hectares in the Arctic have been allocated for this program.
