The Summer Vallea Lumina course follows a partially levels gravel path through the forest with several sets of stairs both up and down. Expect over 200 stair steps along the course of this experience. 

Winter Vallea Lumina

The winter course takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete this self guided experience. The trail is 1km long levelled gravel trail, including a short section of steps and slight hills. Although snow is removed down to the gravel and gritted, expect winter conditions.

Mobility

Guests must be comfortable walking the length of the course.

This experience takes place on an outdoor trail that is partially levelled but not paved and includes stairs, slopes, and steps. In the winter, sections of the trail may become slippery and icy despite our best efforts to shovel and grit the path.

Along the way there are benches to sit and rest. For guests with little ones, we recommend parents use baby carriers as strollers are not permitted on the course due to the stairs.
