About This Tour

Your tour guide will pick you up from the location of your choice in Jasper. Please bring your luggage with you as this is a one-way tour. The Icefields Parkway is known as one of the world's most scenic drives so you don't need to venture far from the main highway to see some spectacular sights.

From May to October, the tour will have many scenic photo stops along the route to Banff/Lake Louise including Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, Crowfoot Glacier, and Athabasca Falls. A stop at the Columbia Icefields(between May 6 and October 9) will allow you to climb aboard an Ice Explorer—a specialized bus that travels directly onto the Athabasca Glacier. Also included in this stop is the Icefield Skywalk, a one-kilometer interpretive walk that leads to a suspended, glass platform that extends out over the valley below.

From December to March, the Icefields Parkway sees much less traffic and turns into a beautiful drive of solitude and wonder. The roadside stops feature endless views of snow-capped mountains and ancient glaciers that make it a true winter wonderland. During this time, you'll have stops along the way at Bow Lake, the Athabasca Glacier, and Athabasca Falls.

Your tour guide will drop you off at the location of your choice in Banff, Canmore, or Lake Louise at the end of the tour.
