This tour 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 tour includes a stop along the glacier, where you can take photos, walk on the ice, and even fill your water bottle with glacial ice water.

The Athabasca Glacier is one of the 6 major glaciers in the Columbia Icefield. Suffice it to say, it's the must-do excursion for anyone venturing on the Icefields Parkway!
