Join us for a unique exploration of the Athabasca Glacier on this 4 hour hike across rock, snow and ice. Meet your guide at our Rockaboo Trailer in the Icefields RV Lot, get geared up, and head out on a fully organic, by foot mission to discover some of the hidden wonders of this powerful place. Surrounded by some of the tallest peaks of the range, your guide will walk you through the history of these headwaters, while ensuring your safety and comfort. If conditions allow, we look for an opportunity for people to increase their connection with this landscape by taking scientific samples or using ropes to explore some of these features more intimately in a safe and controlled manner. Group size is small to ensure exploration of the area is environmentally conscious.

Shep was an awesome guide and provided excellent information about glaciers, the terrain and his own experiences skiing, hiking and mountain climbing. Loved the tour!

Eric is a great guide- very knowledgeable. Challenging and safe at the same time. Strongly recommend this experience.
Fantastic but beware no crevasse rappelling

Had a great time with a hike led by Eric. There was snowfall overnight on 19 September which meant that the glacier was covered in snow for our morning hike, making for an incredible view and experience. Rather than walking on ice it was snow, which felt magical. Eric taught us a lot about the receding of the glacier, and he even collected data whilst we were on the hike. We walked at a good pace for us (fit in our mid-30s) and there was plenty of opportunity for photos. We were disappointed to find out that they were no longer having participants rappel into the crevasse as my partner had been looking forward to this, but the reasoning because of concerns regarding the potential for requiring emergency services at a time when they’re crucial in Jasper was completely fair. I think they should update their website and Viator to reflect this as it’s likely the selling point for their tour so a bit unfair to customers. That said, we had a fantastic time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.
Incredible Glacier Hike!

An incredible unique experience to hike on a glacier. Shep, our guide, was great. He was informative, answered all our questions, and made it an enjoyable experience. It didn't hurt that we had a beautiful bluebird day.

Viator - do better! Unfortunately Jasper is closed secondary to fires. Very disappointed how this has been handled. I have asked numerous times about this excursion & no response. Expecting a full refund. Very disappointed you asked for a review-THIS EXPERIENCE WAS CANCELLED!
