About Torchlight Ski Parade
Torches on the Snow
The Torgnon Carnival Torchlight Ski Parade is one of the most spectacular events of the winter Carnival in the Aosta Valley. On the slopes of the Torgnon ski area, in the province of Aosta, as dusk falls, ski instructors and enthusiasts create a descent with torches, tracing a long trail of light down the slope that captivates onlookers from the village.
Mountain Carnival
The torchlight parade is part of the Carnival atmosphere, with many participants descending in costume, and is one of the Carnival initiatives in the Aosta Valley ski resorts. In Torgnon, a municipality in Valtournenche known for its winter tourism, the event is a moment of celebration that brings together the local community, guests, and mountain lovers.
A Spectacle for Everyone
The torchlight ski descent is a spectacle open to all: those who don't ski can admire it from the valley, immersed in the atmosphere of the mountain Carnival. An event that celebrates the tradition of Alpine torchlight descents and the festive spirit of the Aosta Valley ski resorts during Carnival.
