Grotto Canyon Ice Walk ®

Banff, Alberta, Canada

This unusual ice walk follows a frozen creek through Grotto Canyon, past unusual rock formations, ancient rock art, and icefalls.

Your guide will show you the First Nations rock paintings that can otherwise be difficult to find, and explain their mystery.

Learn about the geology of the mountains that created this magnificent natural wonder.

Get close to the dramatic icefalls seeping from the cliff face, and if you're lucky watch ice climbers scaling the frozen waterfalls.
