This excursion will take you to the surface of the Athabasca Glacier, which happens to be at an altitude of 2700 meters, thanks to the "Ice Explorer": A massive vehicle specially designed for glacier travel. 

During this exciting journey, an experienced driver-guide will share with you a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields, and their impact on our environment.

Your visit includes a stop along the glacier, where you can take photos, walk on the ice, and even fill your water bottle with ice-cold water.

The Athabasca Glacier is one of the 6 main glaciers of the Columbia Icefield. Needless to say, it is the must-see excursion for anyone embarking on the Icefields Parkway!
