Vallea Lumina – A Magical Night Walk in Whistler

Nightly Experience | Cougar Mountain, Whistler, BC

Hidden deep within the forests of Whistler lies a place of legend—where stardust falls from the sky, ancient stories echo through the trees, and light reveals secrets long forgotten. Vallea Lumina is an immersive, multi-sensory night walk that blends storytelling, light, sound, and nature into one unforgettable experience.
