The classic Columbia Icefield Adventure lets you explore two ways. First, ride onto the Athabasca Glacier aboard a massive Ice Explorer before disembarking onto ancient ice. Then, marvel at the breathtaking Sunwapta Valley from above atop the glass-floored skywalk.

2024年4月15日 · The Athabasca Glacier is a massive glacial toe to the expansive Columbia Icefield that sits on Canada’s British Columbia/Alberta border. It is arguably the most accessible glacier in North America and offers visitors a chance to get up close and personal with an earth-shaping wonder.

The Columbia Icefield is a surviving remnant of the thick ice mass that once mantled most of Western Canada's mountains. Lying on a wide, elevated plateau, it is the largest icefield in the Canadian Rockies.

Located within the Canadian Rocky Mountains astride the Continental Divide along the border of British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, the ice field lies partly in the northwestern tip of Banff National Park and partly in the southern end of Jasper National Park.

The icefield covers about 325 square kilometres and feeds several major glaciers. The icefield is part of the UNESCO-listed Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks. The icefield is a popular destination for guided glacier tours and icewalks.

2024年8月13日 · The Columbia Icefield and the Athabasca Glacier are located along the Alberta-British Columbia border. Part of this expansive ice is located inside Jasper National Park, which is the best place to access it – either on a tour or hiking along a nearby trail.

This is the unparalleled feeling of standing on the Athabasca Glacier of the Columbia Icefield. A trip across the glacier on a specially-designed Ice Explorer vehicle or the Ice Odyssey is as informative as it is entirely captivating.
