Please note: As recommended by BC’s provincial health officials, if you choose to participate in events or leisure activities outside of your home, please adhere to COVID-19 health and safety measures, including proper physical distancing and frequent handwashing. If you are sick, please stay home. 

If you’re looking to take a sparkling snowshoe stroll this winter, you can soon head to Grouse Mountain’s Light Walk, full of luster and lanterns.

The luminous Light Walk is open every night at dusk until January 3, 2021, as part of the mountain’s Peak of Christmas celebrations.

The entrance is marked by a glowing light tunnel, just off of the mountaintop skating rink.

The Light Walk will take visitors through firs, spruce, and stunning light installations around Blue Grouse Lake.

Snowshoes or YakTrax are recommended as snow pathways can be slippery. Snowshoes are available for rental at the Outpost.

Julia Grant, communications for Grouse Mountain, tells Daily Hive that the mountain has ramped up its COVID-19 safety protocols. Face coverings are mandatory at the resort, and one-way pathways are implemented on the light walk to increase physical distancing.
