The Columbia Icefield Adventure and Columbia Icefield Skywalk experience both depart from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre, located on the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 N). Ice Odyssey tours depart from the upper parking lot, located on the Banff-side of the centre.
Plan on arriving at the Glacier Discovery Centre 30 minutes prior to your departure time. Little-to-no cellphone service is available on the Icefields Parkway. Please plan accordingly.
We recommend budgeting extra time to take in the abundant visible glaciers, rushing waterfalls and turquoise lakes along this world-renowned route.
From Banff, travel 55 km west on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) to Lake Louise. Then travel 125 km north from Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 N) to the Columbia Icefield. The drive will take roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes.
From Jasper, travel 108 km south on the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 N) to the Columbia Icefield.
