SD#43 Glacier Flightseeing & Landing / 2 Hours
Take a scenic skiplane flight within the Canadian Rockies and add a landing on one of the high icefields along the way. Glaciers and icefields are one of the most fascinating aspects of the mountain environment in the Canadian Rockies. From the highway you typically see only the edge of the icefield. Our ski-plane landing flights place you on the surface in the middle of the icefield where you can appreciate its immense size. We will leave the airplane and have twenty minutes to spend walking nearby, taking photos and experiencing the cold thin air typical of this high altitude environment at 2,700 meters (9,000 feet) above sea level. Underfoot are several meters of snow on top of several hundred meters of solid glacial ice! We are surrounded by some of the highest and most remote peaks in the Rockies.

SD#44 Icefields & Waterfalls Flightseeing / 1 Hours
Traverse four major icefields along the Continental Divide of the Canadian Rockies with views of stunning glacial lakes and the incredible Icefall Brook area where waterfalls cascade down a huge cliff face. Our flight takes us 130 miles / 220 km's over the Campbell, Freshfield, Mons and Lyell icefields where we have a close up view of glacial features such as crevasses, icefalls, vast summer snowfields and sweeping moraines. Amongst this stark glacial landscape are scattered beautiful glacial lakes of indescribable colours. Remote, unnamed waterfalls complete the picture. |

SD#45 Columbia Icefield / 2 Hours
Continue along the Continental Divide from where Tour #1 leaves off and view the Columbia Icefield in its entirety. Although the Columbia Icefield is the largest in the Canadian Rockies and considered to be one of the top attractions in the area, it is only possible to view a small portion of it from the highway. We cover 180 miles / 300 km's in total and also see the Columbia's large neighbour to the west, the Clemenceau Icefield. These two icefields together represent an enormous expanse of ice and are surrounded by a majority of the highest peaks in the Rockies. We also view some of most inaccessible areas of Banff and Jasper Parks along the way. This vast wilderness is yours to discover. |
