Itinerary

This one-way tour takes you on a journey along the Icefields Parkway connecting Canada's oldest and largest national parks, Jasper and Banff National Parks. Travel past glaciers, turquoise lakes, rushing waterfalls and the world-famous Columbia Icefield.

You will board an all-terrain Ice Explorer onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier where you'll have the chance to walk on the ice and learn about glaciers, icefields and the impact on our environment on your journey.

You'll then stroll along a cliff-edged walkway leading onto the jaw-dropping glass-floored Glacier Skywalk separating you from a 918-foot drop.
