An illuminating holiday adventure in Les Gets

These days a ski holiday is not just about skiing, especially as there is now an abundance of other mountain activities to discover and enjoy. This is especially true for families who have children to entertain, and who might not have the energy to spend all their time on the ski slopes every day. On a recent visit to Les Gets I was delighted to discover the magic of Alta Lumina, an experience the whole family can enjoy and will leave you with truly magical winter memories.

Amongst the trees...

Alta Lumina is nestled in a forest on the mountainside above the ski resort of Les Gets. Step into an immersive experience created with a mix of video projection, music and lighting.

...a magical journey...

This multi-sensory night-time walk follows the story of a travelling music-maker as he takes flight in his hot air balloon. As the story continues, he gets caught in a storm and crashes into the forest, where you follow his path to find his lost musical notes!

...for all the family.

This is an experience all the family will enjoy, from babes in arms right through to grandparents. Adults, as I can testify, will enjoy the whimsical experience just as much as wide-eyed children. The walk also features an interactive area where you can create your own music, and there is a photobooth so you can capture your visit for your family photo album.

Something to note for all visitors is that the paths are uneven, so it is not suitable for pushchairs, and it is recommended that babies are carried in a carrier. The walk is 1km in length and takes a leisurely 45 minutes. As it is all outdoors, ensure you wrap up warm in wintertime, and wear suitable footwear.

Open year round, the walk must be pre-booked online before arriving, with a family ticket for 4 costing €55 (2023). As there is limited parking, there is a convenient free shuttle bus that leaves the resort centre from the market car park every 15 minutes.
