 Glacier View Lodge, Icefields Parkway 

Ice-side digs

Most trips on Alberta’s breathtaking Icefields Parkway are a full day experience. By staying at this renovated lodge, you can slow down the pace and experience the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the Columbia Icefields after the crowds have gone for the night and before they arrive the next morning. The lodge is located on the third floor of the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre so you’ll have all access to all the facilities there and an exclusive lounge where you can sit back and soak up the views.
