About The Columbia Icefield Glacier Experience

The Columbia Icefield Glacier Experience reveals the most unique attraction in the Canadian Rockies. Massive Brewster Ice Explorers, specially designed for glacial travel, take passengers on a remarkable excursion onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier.

Each 80 minute journey is lead by an experienced driver-guide, who shares a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields and their impact on our environment. Mid-point in the tour, passengers can safely step out onto the glacier and stand on this powerful ancient ice. Tours depart every 15-30 minutes from the Icefield Centre on the Icefields Parkway.

Travel on a huge ice explorer, and experience the 10,000 year old sheet of ifce where you can walk on, feel and drinks from the glacier! You'll then head to the glass-floored Skywalk for a walk at the cliffs edge. 

The discovery centre is where your trip begins. Check in here and relax in one of the restaurants and learn more about the icefield through some hands-on displays!
