I don’t want to spoil the surprise and wonder of it by over explaining, but it really was amazing. Vallea Lumina is truly a magical experience. Though there were some stairs and hills, it definitely was not difficult ( I had sprained my ankle a few days prior and I was completely fine). I had never walked through the forest at night and it was truly a unique experience. It was a little more varied in elevation than I had expected, really making you feel as though you are actually hiking through the forest on a mission. The sky was pitch black and lanterns led us along the path. We were a bit early and spent a few minutes relaxing by the fire before the adventure began.Īt our show time, we headed up to the main gate. ![]() The ‘Base Camp’ had campfires, washrooms and even s’more kits available for purchase. The bus dropped us off at the ‘Base Camp’. The location where Vallea Lumina takes place is entitled Cougar Mountain. The bus was comfortable and only took around 20 minutes. We almost missed our bus and had to sprint through the village to make it. ![]() Pro tip: Blackcomb Lodge and Blackcomb Day lodge are two different places. As there is no parking at the event location, everyone must travel by the bus service (included with your ticket). We were picked up by our bus at 10:20pm in front of the Blackcomb Day Lodge. Typically I have participated in similar activities when I have visited, but this trip Ryan and I had the opportunity to do something completely new, Vallea Lumina. In the winter, the skiing is amazing and in the summer there is so much to explore. Being from North Vancouver, Whistler has always been a popular vacation spot for my family and our friends. ![]()
