A first-of-its-kind flying light show is coming to a seaside Quebec mountain this summer. The Massif de Charlevoix ski resort is transforming its chairlift into a six-kilometre immersive spectacle of sound and colour.
"Like a grand carousel ride," the activity web page reads, "the luminous, sensory and emotional experience will consist of passengers flying over the mountain under the starry sky." Organizers call it "a unique way to admire the splendours of the site, between sky, land and sea."
MTL Blog sister publication Narcity Québec reports the activity, from the walk to the chair lift, the ride up and the ride down the mountain, will take about one hour total.
