Itinerary

No trip to the Canadian Rockies is complete without a visit to the fascinating Columbia Icefield. We'll lead you to the Columbia Icefield where a massive all-terrain vehicle will take you out onto the Athabasca Glacier.

Discover the power of the ice at Athabasca Glacier. The Athabasca Glacier is one of the "six toes" of the Columbia Icefields, and it's where you'll have the unique opportunity to walk on a glacier itself and to sip from its virgin streams.

Enjoy a bird's eye view from the Glacier Skywalk. Perched on a cliff on the side of the Sunwapta Valley, this glass-floored platform stretches out for astonishing views. Stride boldly out for a thrilling adventure!

Then, after a hot lunch, step out onto the glass-floored platform of the Glacier Skywalk. This is mountain adventure at its finest!The Glacier Adventure is wheelchair accessible, however you must inform us so we can ensure you have proper transfer on to the Glacier Adventure tour from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre. Please inform us in the "Reservation Request" box during booking.
