Columbia Icefield Skywalk
Located along the spectacular Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park, the Pursuit Columbia Icefield Skywalk (Optional Activity) offers a breathtaking perspective of the Canadian Rockies. This cliff-edge walkway leads to a stunning glass-bottom observation platform suspended 918 feet (280 meters) above the dramatic Sunwapta Valley. Visitors can step out into the open air and gaze directly down at ancient, glacier-formed landscapes, rushing waterfalls, and rugged mountain terrain. The interpretive trail leading to the platform features engaging exhibits on the region’s unique ecology, glaciology, and fossil history. It is also an exceptional vantage point for spotting local wildlife, such as mountain goats navigating the steep cliffs. The Skywalk provides an immersive, heart-pounding encounter with nature’s grandeur, perfectly blending architectural innovation with the raw beauty of the alpine environment.
