Ice Bubbles and Heli Tour

Take to the skies for a bird's eye view of the Rockies in all their winter splendour on a helicopter tour. Marvel at boundless alpine fields of pristine white snow, frozen rivers carving through them and craggy peaks rising sky-high.

From high above the windswept vastness of Abraham Lake, you may spot an other-worldly scene. It's a phenomenon caused by methane bubbles released underwater and frozen in time below the lake ice. It's a natural wonder that extends far down into the deep blue ice, and it's yours to explore on a guided tour after your flight.
