From Canmore: Columbia Icefield Tour & Glacier Skywalk｜Canada

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Embark on a journey from Canmore to the Columbia Icefield, one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Canadian Rockies. Covering over 325 square kilometers along the famous Icefields Parkway, this massive icefield feeds several glaciers, including the iconic Athabasca Glacier.

Climb aboard the Ice Explorer, a six-wheeled vehicle, and drive across the surface of this glittering sheet of ice. These massive vehicles are specially designed to travel across the ice, so you can get up close and personal with this natural wonder.

Sit back and enjoy the ride along the Icefields Parkway, one of the world’s most stunning scenic drives. Because you don’t have to navigate or watch the road, this Columbia Icefield glacier adventure tour lets you focus on the amphitheatre of mountains towering above. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife at the edges of the forest.

Dig into a hearty mountain picnic and take a photo stop at Bow Lake, one of the largest glacier-fed lakes in Banff National Park, against the backdrop of the Crowfoot Glacier. You’ll also visit scenic Peyto Lake (when access permits) or lower Waterfowl Lake along the Icefields Parkway, a stunning glacier lake set against Mt Chephren.

Getting thirsty? You’ll have a chance to drink pure, cold water straight from the glacier.

Step out onto the glass-bottomed Skywalk and feel the fresh air on your face as you gaze down 280 meters (918 feet) to the Sunwapta Valley below. The views are simply breathtaking, from the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies to the glacial crevasses and shimmering ice below. During this breathtaking part of your Columbia Icefield adventure, you’ll enjoy popular sights like Mount Athabasca, Mount Columbia, and Mount Robson. You’ll also see the Sunwapta River winding its way through the valley.
