The Columbia Icefield Skywalk is a dramatic glass-floored observation platform that juts out 280 meters above the Sunwapta Valley, offering jaw-dropping views of glaciers, cliffs, and rugged alpine scenery. Located along the Icefields Parkway near the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre, the experience includes a shuttle ride, interpretive exhibits, and time on the suspended platform. It’s an easy and accessible way to feel immersed in the vastness of the Canadian Rockies.

– Shuttle from the Discovery Centre to the Skywalk
