Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Dette prisvindende Radventures lille gruppeeventyr begynder med en fantastisk køretur fra Banff, hvor du kan se dyrelivet og lære om dets rige oprindelige og europæiske historie.
Icefields Parkway, der i vid udstrækning anses for at være den mest naturskønne kørevej i hele verden, er præget af mere end 100 ældgamle gletsjere, brusende vandfald, dramatiske klippespir og smaragdsøer beliggende i fejende dale af tykke fyrreskove og lærkeskove. Overfloden af dyreliv langs køreturen gennem Banff & Jasper National Park vil få dig til at kigge rundt hver tur. Mens vi tager os tid til at udforske, stopper vi for en kort vandretur eller to til et betagende udsigtspunkt, tager det betagende billede til at dele med venner og nyder en picnic frokost midt i pragten af de canadiske Rockies uberørte vildmark. Du kan være sikker på, at du oplever Icefields Parkway på den rigtige måde!
Den utroligt formede gletsjer-fodrede Peyto-sø er en af de mest besøgte og fotograferede søer i de canadiske klippebjerge med god grund. I løbet af sommeren flyder glacialt stenmel ud i søen, og disse suspenderede stenpartikler giver søen dens lyse, turkise farve. Vi tager en let gåtur for at se søen fra Bow Summit, 2.088 meter (6.800 fod) over havets overflade. Bow Summit er det højeste punkt på Icefields Parkway og er den højeste højde, der krydses af en offentlig vej i Canada.
Ligesom navnet antyder, ligger disse gletsjere eller "isfelter" over Banff National Park og Jasper National Park og er de største syd for polarcirklen! De er 325 km2 i areal og 100 til 365 meter (328 til 1.197 fod) i dybden og modtager op til syv meter (275 tommer) snefald om året. Her kan vi som gruppe gå helt op til foden af den tilbagetrukne gletsjer og udforske området og følge gletsjernes vigende sti gennem årene. Bemærk venligst, at denne tur ikke inkluderer busturen Pursuit Skywalk eller Icefields Adventure. I stedet viser vi vores gæster lokale hemmeligheder og udsigtspunkter over gletsjerne via det afslappede stisystem, der undslipper folkemængderne og giver dig en mere bæredygtig og autentisk oplevelse. Gæster, der ønsker at fravælge den korte vandretur til gletsjerens tå, er velkomne til at nyde stedets faciliteter og fordybende aktiviteter på Columbia Icefields Center, indtil resten af gruppen afslutter vandreturen.
Den neonblå Bow Lake er udløbet af Bow River, den store skønhed af en flod, som du vil se løbe gennem Lake Louise, Banff, Calgary og på tværs af landet, indtil den rammer Hudson Bay hele vejen ud i det østlige Canada ! Søen ligger langs Icefields Parkway og er et perfekt sted at gå en tur ned til søbredden for at se Crowfoot Glacier, Wapta Icefield, Bow Glacier, Crowfoot Mountain og Mount Thompson.

Gareth was amazing and so kind! He was super knowledgeable about the history of the area and was able to answer any questions along the drive. All of the spots we stopped at were incredible and the group I was with was super cool and fun to be around.
Gareth was an exceptional guide. Highly recommend him.
We did the Icefields and Peyto Lake Tour yesterday (July 3rd). My family really enjoyed the tour and experience. Found that it was amazing value for what you get. Nolan, our guide, was simply amazing. His knowledge, energy and genuine interest in answering questions and paying attention to details made the experience top notch. Would strongly recommend Rad Adventures, and if you have the option, get Nolan as your guide. You won’t regret it!
Nolan was great! He was very interactive and engaging throughout the whole tour. We could not have asked for a better experience!!! If we were staying longer, we would have tried to have gone on another tour with him!!!
Four exclamation marks on the would-go-again, we'll take every one of them. Nolan's a natural at making the Icefields Parkway feel like more than a drive, there's always something to look at and always a story behind it. Really glad it felt that way. Come back and he'll show you the rest of it.
Scenic drive with amazing views of lakes, rivers, mountains, falls and the athabasca glacier.
Thank you! The Icefields Parkway really is one of the most spectacular drives in the world and it sounds like it delivered in every way. We hope to welcome you back to explore even more of the Rockies again soon!
Superb day with our excellent guide Bee who massively added to the experience. Her knowledge is amazing and so enthusiastic with it. Also loving the fact they value nature and the Banff/Jasper Park environment so much. I would highly recommend this experience!
What a wonderful review, thank you so much! B's knowledge and enthusiasm for the Icefields Parkway is truly something special, and we're so glad it elevated the whole experience for you. We're also really touched that our commitment to the natural environment and the parks came through, it's something we care deeply about at Radventures and it means a great deal to hear it resonated. We'd absolutely love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
We went on this tour recently and it was excellent. We saw a lot of very beautiful lakes, mountains, and a glacier! Our guide, Tyler, was very knowledgeable about all the many sites and animals we saw along the route (which included a bear, rams, and a goat on top of a mountain). Highly recommend!
Thank you for the brilliant review! The Icefields Parkway really is one of the most spectacular drives in the world, and a bear, rams AND a mountain goat perched on top of a peak is a truly memorable wildlife trifecta. 🐐🐻 Tyler's knowledge of the route, from the lakes and glaciers to the wildlife behaviour, is what makes the journey so much more than just a scenic drive. We're so glad it exceeded expectations and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
We had the absolute best time on the Icefields Parkway and Abraham Lake tour with Nolan. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience so fun. Every spot he took us to felt like stepping into a postcard, with absolutely stunning views. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable day! Highly recommend.
Our guide and driver, Liam, was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. His descriptions and stories about bears, elks, ravens, pines, and Lake Louise etc are informative, interesting and sometimes touching. He also took a lot of photos for us. Although the weather was not ideal, our trip was very enjoyable. Liam and Radventures, thank you so much! Highly recommended.
Four of us took this tour in late October. Quiet time of year for Banff, but still so much to see. Taylor was a great guide, and personalized the tour for us. Lots of walking and hiking, but well worth the views. It mentions that lunch is not included, but should mention that there is also no place to buy food along the way. Bring sandwiches and snacks as this is a full day tour. We saw the glacier, lakes, and beautiful mountain views and learned lots about the wildlife and stories of the area. Taylor also recommended spots for the rest of our stay and he was spot on. Great trip, Great tour!
