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.
