Glacier Icewalks

Glacier Icewalks, located along the Icefields Parkway in the Canadian Rockies, offers guided glacier walks that let visitors safely explore the Athabasca Glacier. For over 30 years, its certified guides have led small groups onto the ice, sharing stories about local geology, glaciology and the changing mountain environment. Walkers use provided traction devices and follow well-established routes, making the experience accessible to curious travellers with moderate fitness. The glacier is about a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Jasper or three hours from Banff, creating a memorable day trip framed by dramatic peaks, turquoise lakes and frequent roadside viewpoints.
