Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre

Set along the Icefields Parkway across from the Athabasca Glacier, the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre offers a striking introduction to one of the Canadian Rockies’ most remarkable landscapes. Surrounded by rugged peaks, rocky terrain and sweeping glacier views, it is a memorable stop during a scenic day trip from Jasper.

The centre is also the departure point for glacier experiences that bring guests closer to the ice and surrounding mountain scenery. Ride aboard an Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier or continue to the Columbia Icefield Skywalk for dramatic views over the Sunwapta Valley. From the scenic drive to the glacier views, this experience brings the scale and beauty of the Rockies into full view.
