This tour starts and ends at the same place, taking you back to your hotel in Banff at the end of what will be an unforgettable day on the Icefields Parkway. No packing up. Just straight-up adventure!

The Athabasca Glacier is one of the ‘six toes’ of the Columbia Icefield, and it’s where you’ll have the unique opportunity to walk on a glacier itself and to sip from its virgin streams.
