Highlights

Combine visits to the Glacier Skywalk and the Athabasca Glacier on a tour from the Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre. Ride in a huge ice explorer for a guided tour of the glacier and listen to engaging commentary about glaciers, the local ecosystem, and environmental changes while being taken directly onto a 10,000-year-old sheet of ice. It's truly a unique experience to walk on, feel, and drink from the Athabasca Glacier.


Then, walk on the glass-bottom Skywalk to experience waterfalls, wildlife, fossils, and more on an exciting cliff-edge walkway platform where glass is all that separates you from a 918-foot drop!
