Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Icefields Parkway in 2026?

A Parks Canada Pass is required for the Icefields Parkway as you'll enter Banff and Jasper national parks. These cost CA$11 per day (adults), CA$9.50 (seniors), or CA$22 (families). Annual and transit passes are available. Some guided tours include passes. One pass covers both national parks.

Q: Should I take a guided tour of the Icefields Parkway or just drive it myself?

Guided and self-driving tours of the Icefields Parkway are good ways to explore this scenic road through the Canadian Rockies. Guided tours allow you to enjoy the views without having to negotiate the mountain roads or be distracted by the mountain vistas. Driving yourself lets you stop and make detours.

Q: Is the Icefields Parkway accessible year‑round?

Yes, the Icefields Parkway is open year-round, but some services and amenities are seasonal (June–September). Conditions can be more challenging from October through May, and you should expect snow year-round, although it's less likely in midsummer. If you’re driving, bring a snow shovel, warm winter clothing, and blankets.

Q: What should I wear for an Icefields Parkway tour?

It depends on the season. Pack warm layers for the high altitude—Banff town is at 4,537 feet (1,383 meters). In summer (June–September), bring a jacket, hiking boots, and a woolen or microfleece sweater. Otherwise, bring clothes for snow, including a waterproof jacket and pants, a hat, and gloves.

Q: What’s included on Icefields Parkway tours?

Icefields Parkway tours make different stops. Some stop at free lookout points, such as at Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Peyto Lake. Others include activities, such as kayaking, a bus tour on the Columbia Icefield, or a stop at the Columbia Icefield Skywalk. Select a tour that suits your interests.

Stunning Scenery & Wildlife

Our guide Robbie made it a memorable day with his anecdotes and stories along with his knowledge of the places we visited. The scenery was stunning from the outset to the highlight of the day with the stunning view from our high vantage point over Payto lake at the Parkway Icefield. We also saw lots of wildlife during the day, Elk, Eagles, Mountain Goats, Chipmunks and a Mother Grizzly bear and her cubs.

important information

the tour itself was EXCELLENT and tess was a wonderful tour guide. but if you book this, contact radventures directly to order lunch and rent equipment like snowshoes and skates. you cannot do these things through viator and you cannot do them after you've left. but there's no place on the tour to get lunch. either bring your own or order directly through the tour company.

Icefields Parkway and Ice Bubbles of Abraham Lake Adventure

Excellent tour shady company email

The excursion is great, our guide he was wonderful. The lake had plenty of bubbles and was nicely frozen over. All the stops were beautiful. My only complaint is it literally says in the viator page contact RAD for ice skate rentals. I literally did several days before and was met with a, oh you booked with viator we can’t rent you skates but if you cancel with viator and rebook with us you can then rent skates. So basically was being told cancel, rebook so we don’t have to pay Viator anything and then we’ll let you rent skates. Seemed like shady way for them to avoid paying Viator a booking fee, if you don’t honor what it says on Viator don’t be on here on the first place. I kept my Viator booking and simply walked on the lake. We considered renting in town and brining them ourselves but opted just to walk on the lake. Again let this take nothing away from the tour and the guide but the office is trying to avoid viator bookings.
