Banff: Skywalk & Columbia Icefield, Lakes Trip

Embark on a full-day journey from Calgary along one of the world’s most scenic routes—Icefields Parkway (Highway 93). With a knowledgeable local guide, uncover hidden gems nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Banff National Park.

Venture into the heart of the Canadian Rockies and visit the majestic Columbia Icefield, the largest ice field in North America’s Rocky Mountains. For an added adventure (available at additional cost), hop aboard the rugged Ice Explorer—a specially designed vehicle that takes you right onto the Athabasca Glacier, one of the six prominent “toes” of the Columbia Icefield.

Note: The Columbia Icefield and Ice Explorer experience is available from early May to mid-October. During winter, alternate stops include the stunning Lake Louise and Marble Canyon.

Take in the awe-inspiring beauty of glacier-fed Peyto Lake and Bow Lake, each offering panoramic views and serene moments amidst the natural wonders of the Canadian Rockies.
