About
Described as having great views but being a tourist trap and overpriced. It's a short glass skywalk requiring a bus from the icefield center.
Why go
- You’re literally standing on air above one of the most dramatic glacial landscapes
- Both thrilling and calming
- Memorable without a full-blown hike
Must try
- Walk the glass platform
- Glass-floored walkway suspended 280 metres above the Sunwapta Valley
- Glass-floored observation platform offering stunning views
- Glass-floored walkway offering views over the Sunwapta Valley
- Glass-floored walkway over a canyon
Pro tips
- Get a bus from the icefield centre
- Book both in advance — they sell out
- Pre-book online for around 20% off
- Catch another one of the regular return buses
- Hike for 15-20 minutes to see this glacier
Good to know
- Overpriced for what it was
- Glass was a little dirty and muddy
- Pick a less-crowded time if you can
