Getting There

50m from Kingston (KIN)

The drive is legendary: 365 hairpin turns (one for each day of the year).

The Playbook

Volatility Watch

Prices regularly jump between $465 and $655. Set an alert - the lower rate returns frequently.

Good to Know

Altitude Chill

At 3,100ft, nights are properly cold - bring a sweater. A mountain retreat, not a beach hotel.
