Tonga Lumina: a night walk in search of the giant
May 10th, 2017
Moment Factory and Tremblant—two world-renowned Québec industry leaders—are pairing their savoir-faire to create an immersive, interactive and illuminated night walk that begins with a ride on the Flying Mile lift. From its midway station, the adventure darts into the wilderness, and concludes back in the pedestrian village.
“Deep in the heart of Mont Tremblant, the last of the giants has awoken. Follow your sense of adventure to discover the secret he wants to share…”
Every day from late July until Thanksgiving weekend, Tremblant’s deep nature environment sets the stage for a singular Moment Factory production: an immersive and interactive illuminated night walk in search of a sleeping giant who, legend has it, calls Mont Tremblant home. Whenever he awakens, all his descendants return to this sacred land to seek out his ancient wisdom. Participants are invited to don the amulet and follow a mysterious path deep into the heart of this enchanted mountain, to discover the secret the giant has to share. Each visitor receives an interactive amulet unique toTremblant: it serves to enhance their experience as they progress through the night walk.
“Drawing on the site’s uniqueness, it plunges visitors into a remarkable audiovisual universe that showcases the mountain’s natural elements, inspired by its history and its legends,” reveals Patrice Malo, Station Mont Tremblant’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “In addition to expanding the tourist offer here at the resort and across the region, this pioneer form of entertainment aims to spotlight Québec talent, which we are truly proud to uphold, and creates over thirty new jobs.”
Open to all after sundown, the night walk begins in the pedestrian village with a ride on the Flying Mile lift. From its midway station, the adventure plunges thrill-seekers into an audiovisual universe showcasing the mountain’s natural elements, on a 1.5 km maintained forest trail. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale early June, at tongalumina.ca
