An Even More Immersive Winter Light Experience
The 2025 edition of the Saint Gabriel de Valcartier illuminated walking trail is back with a completely refreshed installation. This outdoor lighting display transforms the pathway into a magical winter light experience perfect for families and visitors looking for a memorable evening stroll. The goal of this year’s installation is to offer an even more immersive and interactive experience while highlighting the natural beauty of the forest in winter.
What’s New for 2025
Cette nouvelle édition apporte plusieurs améliorations qui rendent la promenade encore plus immersive. Chaque ajout a été pensé pour enrichir l’expérience lumineuse et offrir aux visiteurs un sentier encore plus vivant, interactif et spectaculaire en soirée.
A Stunning Entrance with Thirty Lit Fir Trees
For 2025, the entrance to the walking trail features a row of thirty illuminated fir trees. This display creates a strong visual welcome and immediately immerses visitors in a cozy winter atmosphere. The lit trees form a natural frame that sets the tone for the rest of the walk.
Disco Balls in the Trees for a Festive Ambience
Along the trail, several disco balls have been hung in the trees. This addition creates shimmering reflections that dance through the forest, adding a festive and dynamic touch. Visitors enjoy a lively atmosphere while staying connected to the natural surroundings. This outdoor lighting technique adds a unique atmosphere to the winter experience.
Interactive Shadow Displays for Participatory Fun
One of the big new features for 2025 is the interactive shadow areas. Light projections cast winter landscapes onto walls and surfaces along the trail. Visitors can move in front of these projections and see their silhouettes blend into the scene. Raising their arms or moving around, people become part of the light artwork. This participatory experience appeals to both children and adults and quickly becomes one of the most photographed parts of the trail.
A Winter Attraction for the Whole Community
With forest lighting, projected visuals, disco balls, and illuminated trees, this light installation offers a varied experience that changes as you walk through different sections. The 2025 illuminated walking trail has become a must-see winter activity for families, couples, and visitors looking for a unique outdoor evening experience during the winter season.
