Glacier View Lodge, Icefields Parkway

Most trips on Alberta’s breathtaking Icefields Parkway are a full day experience. By staying at this renovated lodge, you can slow down the pace and experience the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the Columbia Icefields after the crowds have gone for the night and before they arrive the next morning. The lodge is located on the third floor of the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre so you’ll have all access to all the facilities there and an exclusive lounge where you can sit back and soak up the views.

Your stay here includes a Champagne reception on arrival and exclusive evening trip out onto the Athabasca Glacier in an Ice Explorer vehicle. Later in the evening, you’ll be served a three-course dinner before you head to your Glacier or Mountain View Room for the night. The next morning, following a buffet breakfast, there’ll be a guided visit to the Columbia Icefield Skywalk, a glass-floor walkway that extends over the edge of a canyon.
