Overview

Join us for a unique exploration of the Athabasca Glacier on this 4 hour hike across rock, snow and ice. Meet your guide at The toe of the glacier parking lot, get geared up, and head out on a fully organic, by foot mission to discover some of the hidden wonders of this powerful place. Surrounded by some of the tallest peaks of the range, your guide will walk you through the history of these headwaters, while ensuring your safety and comfort. Depending on conditions, we look for an opportunity for people to increase their connection with this landscape by taking scientific samples or using ropes to explore some of these features more intimately in a safe and controlled manner. Group size is small to ensure exploration of the area is environmentally conscious.

Amazing place to visit

Published on Mar, 2024

Wonderful and beautiful experience the staff was great from the beginning to the end great John helped us all the time thanks again great job guys!!

Great experience walking the glacier

Published on Sep, 2023

Fabulous experience to walk the glacier and see the wonderful crevasses. Insight to glacier behaviour and the history provided by two experienced guides as they lead us through the walk. The glacier is extremely windy so I would recommend layers and a buff for your face. The guides do have hats/gloves/some outer coats if required. Jack and Shep did a great job.

Great trip and great guides. I especially liked the incorporation of scientific research of the environment as part of the experience.

Bucket list experience

Published on Sep, 2023

The whole experience was memorable. Our tour guide was amazing and love that she was also collecting valuable data to track the movement of the glacier. We felt privileged to have experienced something so special and unique especially coming from Australia where we don’t have this landscape accessible to us.

Thread lightly - Great tour

Published on Sep, 2023

Climbing up the Icefield from the bottom was demanding but a wonderful experience and so well guided. No need to take the stinky bus. Thread lightly. As it says. Abseiling into the crevice was awesome.
