Not for the faint-hearted, this opportunity to step out over a glacial valley is rewarded with spectacular views from a unique new perspective!
The Glacier Skywalk, the Rocky Mountains’ newest attraction, consists of a 500-metre interpretive boardwalk and a glass-floored observation platform that extends 30 metres out over the beautiful Sunwapta Valley.
It is located along the spectacular Icefields Parkway, around an hour’s drive south of Jasper or 2.5 hours north of Banff.
Get straight to the heart of things. Travelling by train in Eastern Canada is convenient and good value, and takes you where you want to be without traffic or bears in the road.
