The Athabasca Glacier is the most accessible tongue of the Columbia Icefield, and this guided hike takes you onto the ice rather than leaving you at the viewing areas. A mountain guide leads the way across the glacier surface, around crevasses and meltwater features that change through the summer. The full outing runs 3 hours and costs from $101.57 per person, and free cancellation is offered. With a 4.9 rating across 422 reviews, it stands as the strongest-rated glacier experience in this category.
· Two Pursuit glacier attractions in one ticket · Pursuit Collection
One ticket covers both of Pursuit's Columbia Icefield attractions. Board the Ice Explorer for the ride across the Athabasca Glacier, then walk the glass-floored Skywalk above the Sunwapta Valley. Both run from 1 May to 12 October in 2026, weather permitting. The combined ticket rates 4.5 across 3187 reviews and starts at $95.17 per person.

· Glass-floored Skywalk over Sunwapta Valley, from $37.01 · Pursuit Collection
The Skywalk curves along a cliff face above the Sunwapta Valley, a glass-floored platform where the drop beneath your boots is the whole point. Pursuit Collection runs it as an admission-only ticket, so you make your own way down the Icefields Parkway and walk the loop at whatever pace suits. Many visitors pair it with the Ice Explorer, the bus-sized vehicle that carries guests out onto the Athabasca Glacier itself; Pursuit sells that as a combined ticket alongside this one.
