What To Expect

Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre

No trip to Jasper is complete without a visit to the famed Columbia Icefield, the largest ice field in the Canadian Rockies. Jaw-dropping views of towering mountains, rocks, ice and pure white snow as far as the eye can see. From the Discovery Centre, you will board a specialized Ice Explorer that will take you down a frozen roadway to the Athabasca Glacier. Along the way, your driver will provide commentary about glaciers, their impact upon the local ecosystem, and the environmental changes rapidly transforming these massive scenic wonders. Once you reach the Athabasca Glacier, you will have the opportunity to hop out, walk along the glacier and even fill up your water bottle with pure, pristine snowmelt. Once the tour is complete, you will head over to the Glacier Skywalk, where you will walk along the glass bottom walkway out over the cliff's edge. After stopping to appreciate the incredible view and capture a few photographs, it's back to the Discovery Center.

This Columbia Icefield Tour was amazing and well organized. The bus to the icefield was on time and comfortable and driver was courteous. The transfer on to the icefield vehicle was great. Our driver Josh was really funny and knowledgeable and made the trip to and back enjoyable. We had close to 30 mins free time on the ice which was nice. A definite unforgettable experience you don’t want to miss!

Our Icefield adventures was informative. It was a great experience to walk in glacier and at the same time to have that deep sense of awareness that we really have to take care and be concerned about global warming. The ride was exciting. Jason was awesome.
Fun for all ages

It was a lot of fun! You spend about 20 minutes on the ice and bring a bottle to fill up with glacier water! Maybe bring some gloves. A lot of fun. We had a group aged 7-77!
