Tread Lightly Glacier Hikes puts you on the Athabasca Glacier itself, not on a platform above it. The outing runs four hours, from $135.25 per person, and holds a 4.8 rating across 198 reviews. Crampons and a guide come included, and the pace suits hikers with reasonable fitness. The extra hours buy time on the ice, past where boardwalk crowds stop.
· Two Pursuit glacier attractions in one ticket · Pursuit Collection
One ticket covers both of Pursuit's Columbia Icefield attractions. Board the Ice Explorer for the ride across the Athabasca Glacier, then walk the glass-floored Skywalk above the Sunwapta Valley. Both run from 1 May to 12 October in 2026, weather permitting. The combined ticket rates 4.5 across 3187 reviews and starts at $95.17 per person.

· Glass-floored Skywalk over Sunwapta Valley, from $37.01 · Pursuit Collection
The Skywalk curves along a cliff face above the Sunwapta Valley, a glass-floored platform where the drop beneath your boots is the whole point. Pursuit Collection runs it as an admission-only ticket, so you make your own way down the Icefields Parkway and walk the loop at whatever pace suits. Many visitors pair it with the Ice Explorer, the bus-sized vehicle that carries guests out onto the Athabasca Glacier itself; Pursuit sells that as a combined ticket alongside this one.
