There are a number of 'Ice Walk"s in Jasper National Park. One is the famous Maligne Canyon Ice Walk. That one leaves from 5th Bridge Parking lot on the Maligne Lake Road, just across the river near the east end of the Jasper townsite. You can go with a group for $55-65 each, or do it on your own.

We went on a 6-hr Deluxe tour with a 70-yr-old grandfather and an 8-yr-old boy. It was a nice adventure. It's not everyday one gets to hike 5 miles on a glacier. The guide was tailored the speed of the hike to the slowest members of the group. It turned out the glacier was fairly safe. One can probably do... More

Found this an amazing experience - not only visually but we also learnt a lot about glaciers. The guides were first class, both knowledgeable and able to tell a good tale. Not to mention good visual learning aids through the use of a Mars bar! From arrival it's a smooth operation - you meet at the car park (it's obvious... More

Brilliant day out, we were only unfortunate that the weather was pretty bad! Meant to travel for a 6hr hike on sunday, but the weather was too bad to continue. Our guide called it short when it became too dangerous for the fill 6hr hike. Unfortunate, but thems the breaks. We got a small refund for the difference between the... More

We did the 3-hour ice walk in early September. It was pretty cool. I expected this to be one of the top highlights of our Canadian Rockies trip based on the reviews and photos. I'd say it probably ranked about 4th on our list of activities during our 10-day trip. The guides, Peter and Ron (and their dog), are friendly... More

I sent the following email to the company directly: "I wanted to send a note praising our tour guide, Ron, for his skill and professionalism during our hike this past Wednesday (9/7/11). My wife, our 13yo twins and I embarked on our first glacier hike with your company at the Athabasca Glacier. Ron was a real pro. I want to... More

We took the 3 hour walk with our 6 year old daughter. Initially we were moving a bit too fast for her and our guide Ron quickly realized that and slowed down to accommodate her. The hike itself is not very strenuous as there are frequent stops when the guide explains interesting features and characteristics of glaciers. However, you need... More

If you’re a young adult, go with this half day tour for $60. It’s great for couples who want a little adventure, and want to see the Athabasca Glacier. They have winter gear for you to borrow if you need it, including beanies, gloves, sweats, ponchos, and even hiking boots! It’s a lot of fun, and you won’t want to... More

This was a highlight of our trip. I was a bit concernced about the fitness level required but had nothing to worry about. The guys supplied us with boots/poles/gloves. Lucky for us it was a beautiful sunny day for our walk. Our guide was terrific in showing us the hidden treasures of the Glacier. Although there is a bit of... More
