Columbia Icefield Skywalk
Banff, Canada
The Columbia Icefield Skywalk is a glass-floored cantilevered bridge that extends 280 metres over the Sunwapta Valley, offering sweeping views of the Columbia Icefield and the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Opened in 2014, the structure provides a unique perspective of glacial landscapes and diverse wildlife, enhancing the experience of the Icefields Parkway.
Allocate about an hour to take in the views and walk along the pathway. Autumn is ideal for fewer crowds and stunning fall colours, but be prepared for changing weather conditions. The nearby Athabasca Glacier, part of the same icefield, can be accessed via guided tours for an deeper exploration.
