Icefields Parkway Discovery Glacier Tour
Sit back and enjoy the ride as you travel through the Rocky Mountains from Banff to Jasper
About this Experience
This one-way tour from Banff to Jasper (or in reverse) takes you along Alberta’s Highway 93 – the Icefields Parkway. This dramatic, glacier-studded drive is packed with awe-inspiring stop-offs, from unbelievably turquoise mirror lakes, to thunderous waterfalls to lofty, yet hike-worthy, mountain trails. Most importantly, this 144-mile stretch of tarmac is home to over 100 ice sheets. Our favourite is the Athabasca Glacier, which you’ll get to explore up-close when you take the Columbia Icefields all-terrain Ice Explorer tour. If that’s not enough, glimpse it from afar when you take the nerve-shredding Glacier Skywalk, which juts out above the icy valleys below.
