What you can expect

Meet your tour at the designated meeting point in Banff or Calgary and drive to Jasper National Park, the biggest National Park in Canada. Sit back and relax as you enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Rocky Mountains.

Pass through the Icefield Parkway, one of Canada's natural treasures. Gaze out onto a vast wilderness of pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers, and broad sweeping valleys.

Next, stop at Bow Lake, the most visited lake on the Icefield Parkway. Catch the reflection of the Crowfoot Mountain Range on the lake's mirror-like surface and take in the serene and enchanting atmosphere.

Then, head to the Columbia Icefield, where you can take about 2.5 hours to explore. Get a sense of awe for nature as you stand on this massive ice sheet. Take an optional journey aboard the Ice Explorer, a specialised coach that allows you to further explore the glacier (not included).

After your glacier visit, stop at Peyto Lake to take in the picturesque scenery. Marvel at how the glacial minerals in the water make the lake appear as if the waves are frozen at the edge.

Finish your tour with a stop at the Crowfoot Glacier, which resembles the claws of a crow. Find out how climate change has altered the shape of this glacier over the years.

Get dropped off back at the meeting point in Banff or Calgary at the end of your tour.
