Description:

Facing the Columbia Icefield Visitors' Centre lies the Athabasca Glacier - a tongue of ice 6 kilometers long and one kilometer wide descending almost to road level. Take time for Brewster's Ice Age Adventure, a tour onto the icy slopes of the Athabasca Glacier. You will travel in a specially designed Brewster Snowcoach to the middle of the glacier, on a 5 kilometer round trip journey. Your driver/guide will explain how glaciers are formed and point out interesting geological features as you travel in safety and comfort. At the icefall below the glacier headwall, you will have the option of stepping out onto ice formed from snow falling as long as 400 years ago. Avoid the peak time rush by taking your tour before 11:00AM or after 2:30PM. You must drive two to two and half hours from Lake Louise to arrive at the departing area for the Snowcoach tours. You may take the roundtrip Brewster bus tour or your own vehicle to get there, maps are available at the concierge desk. The season starts April 15th and ends October 20th. Snow coaches depart every 15 to 30 minutes from 9AM to 5PM, April to September. In October, tours run from 10AM to 4PM. Reservations are not required for individuals. Please allow 1.5 Hours for this excursion.
