Skiers carrying torches down a ski slope at night

One of the most magical nights of the mountain year, the Christmas Eve torchlight parade sends a glowing line of skiers and riders snaking down the slopes after dark, often finished with fireworks over the village.

It's a spectacular, free way to spend Christmas Eve, minutes from The Jabberwocky. Bundle up, find a spot at the base, and watch the mountain light up. Confirm the timing on the resort's site before you go.
