COLUMBIA ICEFIELD Glacier Adventure Tour in Jasper Alberta Canada Athabasca Glacier
The Columbia Icefield is the largest ice field in North America's Rocky Mountains. Located within the Canadian Rocky Mountains astride the Continental Divide along the border of British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, the ice field lies partly in the northwestern tip of Banff National Park and partly in the southern end of Jasper National Park. It is one of the largest non-polar ice fields in the world. Here, you’ll travel on a massive Ice Explorer to a place where you can walk on, feel and drink from the Athabasca Glacier.
This is the most unique Jasper attraction in the Canadian Rockies. Massive Ice Explorers, specially designed for glacial travel, take passengers on a remarkable excursion onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier.
In this video we took Columbia Icefield Glacier Tour on Ice Explorer to Athabasca Glacier. The glacier tour starts at Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre on Highway 93 Icefields Parkway, and Ice explorer take to Athabasca Glacier where people can walk around and drink pure glacier water. This is definitely thing to do and thing to see in Jasper Alberta, and one of the most famous Jasper point of interest.

I went to Banff Canada in 1979 with my family. We went to Lake Louise. Then we went on the Gondola lift. Then we went to Columbia Ice Field but by the time we got there, we missed the last shuttle. But after viewing this video, I see that I didn't miss much. LOL.
that is scarry to see what it is now wow3
Wow so amesing

You kno im running out of comments to describe these videos..this absolutely blew my mind..the music at the start..the mountain view..the drive over the ice..lord the view over the ice..i love it ..looking forward to more..
Thank you!
In 1976 I worked as a cooks helper in the chalet, fresh out of high school and what an adventure. I loved this place.
I never had the chance to go back until 2006. And I was amazed at the changes. It was not a simple tourist destination any more. I was also saddened by how much the Athabasca Glacier had receded. I enjoyed your video.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching. It is an amazing place - we loved it, and definitely want to go back again.

Nice👍watching from bangladesh
Back in 2010 i visited a glacier in banff im not sure if this is the same one but ye certainly gives me nostalgia lol. The most memorable event when I was there was when one of my leg sunk into the ice lmao idk how but it happened
It’s crazy how much the glacier has receded over the years.
Beautiful Alberta ❤
Indeed!
I went on the icefield glacier it was awesome

🇨🇦❤️
Beautiful 😍. Booked this tour for our Sept trip to the Canadian Rockies. Thank you for the insight of the glacier tour.
Have a great trip!
Thank you for this stunning video and uploading it in 4k. It is so clear that I felt I was there.

Cheers from the smoky Toronto Canada
Thank you for watching!
The famous last word I'know what I'm doing 👍
❤❤❤❤
Thanks again for another brilliant in depth video. I have seen a few videos but not as detailed such as showing the checking process all the way to the end of the tour.
I was thinking from experience, when you film something like this you cannot enjoy it more than if you had no camera; that is the selfless part of what you guys do. Thanks again. I look forward to the Skywalk.
Thank you very much! I kind of learned how to run-and-shoot and enjoy the moment at the same time. I know I could do better shots/videos if I took more time - but want to live the moment too 😊. Yeap, Skywalk is next!
i visited the glacier twice the last time the glacier was smaller due to climate change
Fond memories of 31 years ago when I visited.
Amazing
When we first walked on it back in 1967 there were survey posts marking how it had receded since I think the late 1800's or early 1900's not sure if they still place those markers there . Hiking along some of the nearby peaks we found fossils of tiny sea creatures which gets the brain working !
Thanks for this great video it reminds us of our two times there …we invite you again to come and see our experience from our camera lens .
Have a great day
H&S 👩❤️👨🌈🇨🇦
Looks like you are going cool places, good job!
@@lvfreeAdventures Welcome …we are not alone as I see my Canadian neighbor!😉👍🌈🇨🇦
I like ur videos because ur videos r always in detailed... I am desperately trying to visit Canada... Love and respect from Mumbai,India.
Thank you!
SO THE E.TS ARE HERE. RIGHT HERE.
I’ve been here with Sam like 2 weeks ago I recognized him by his voice and jokes
He is cool and so funny - we really enjoyed the ride
We were there just a couple days ago with Sam. It was a really fun ride
great video! Thank you!
Watch this video on a hot humid day.
What month is this? My family is visiting in May and we're hoping to enjoy Spring in Alberta.
This was filmed in July. They actually are opening sometime in first couple of weeks in May
Can we book just the Skywalk tour and not the glacier?
I am not sure. Here is their website, you can give them a call to find out: www.banffjaspercollection.com/attractions/columbia-icefield/
Pray for Jasper 🙏 ❤
great video quality! what camera are you using ??
🥰🌞🥰
Hi , when was this video taken ? I’m going up to jasper this long week end of September, how cold could i expect it to be ?
It was at the end of July, and we still needed light jackets. Definitely take a jacket (not for heavy winter - but warm enough) and hat - it is colder on icefield and almost always windy. Recommend hiking boots, running shoes may get wet really fast
Great video, and I love the music too, makes me wanna dance. May I know the music behind? Thank you. ❄️😍❄️
Thank you, Underwater Sunlight - Daxten
How long did the skywalk and the glacier ride take altogether?
It took 4 hours for us. We had to wait a bit for a bus from Skywalk. But it was worth it - awesome experience.
@@lvfreeAdventures Awesome! Thanks 😊
Awesome !
Which month was it ?
We were there at the end of July
This looks amazing and I am going to do it when I visit Canada in September. Do you know if there is still ice during that month?
It’s always there anytime of the year
@@akashdeepgill7762 That's great news! Thank you!
@@TheHamsterMaster but be careful check the weather first if it’s rainy or foggy they will not take u to the glacier and it gets around 7-8 degrees up there 😂
@@akashdeepgill7762 ok I'll make sure to check the weather daily. Thank you again!
It's a glacier. Of course. Been there at least 11,000 yrs.
It is a nice landscape still, but I assume those glaciers must have shrunken a lot since the region got its name. I doubt that someone would have called it "Ice Fields" if it would have had this amount of ice back then, even if it obviously will be more in winter.
They call it Columbia Icefield Adventure - but ice explorer takes you only to Athabasca glacier which is part of Columbia Icefields. If you google it - you will see the whole system
And in the winter there is snow lining the highway that is above your car lol
Is there snow during summers too?
Yes, always
There’s always one guy wearing shorts
Awesome place, you can hike up to the spot where the tour buses go. Instead of paying the money you can walk up, they say you shouldn't but me and my friends did it with no issues.
how long did it take you to hike up ?
@@RA-nt8nn Didn't record the hike. But it took maybe hour and a half. But that's with photo breaks and hanging. The start from the parking lot takes a little while till your on the ice. Afterwards it's not to long. There is a closer parking lot which will save you some time.
@@deanwinchester6654 thanks!
I'm grateful I watched this video! I'll be in the area this summer, but I'm going to pass on this experience. Being shuffled around like cattle and confined within set limits doesn't align with my idea of enjoyment!
Unfortunately there is no other way to visit icefield
But I was in the bus at 9pm so
I mean 9 am
Price

Lol and still no one wearing seatbelts.
Crazy, even after one rolled about 4 yrs ago and ppl died.
