Patznauntal, Tirol, Austria

(Christmas)lighting for the Paznauntal

See, Kappl, Ischgl, Galtür

The towns of See, Ischgl, Kappl and Galtür in Tyrol‘s Paznauntal have been known for years not only as popular winter sports resorts, but also for luxury holidays, shopping and festivities. In 2020, the mayors decided to present themselves as a single entity when it came to (Christmas)lighting in order to further strengthen their public image and togetherness.

MK Illumination Austria was asked to develop a concept that would make the Paznauntal shine with 250,000 points of light from MK Illumination‘s Sting Lites. This included uniform street lighting - 180 of the ‚Candelino Pole‘ design to be precise - running through the entire valley, as well as lettering specially designed for the holiday villages, which are now known as popular photopoints.
