Skywalks aren’t only popular in Taiwan; that sense of walking in the sky, with its extended views and sweat-inducing thrill, is also loved by travelers worldwide. In Jasper National Park within the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada, there is a Glacier Skywalk that became a popular attraction in the Rockies shortly after its completion.

Canada’s Glacier Skywalk stretches 500 meters in total, extending as a parabola from the canyon and built 280 meters high on the hard cliff above the Sunwapta Valley. The walkway is divided into two main parts: a mountain-looping trail and a 30-meter-long horseshoe-shaped glass platform that juts out over the cliff. In terms of architectural technology and design concept, it offers both an adrenaline rush and an immersive natural experience.
