Welcome to Waterton Village
If the heart of Waterton Lakes National Park is its pure beauty, then the Waterton Village is its pulse.
This tiny, vibrant town site is an epicenter of activity, full of fun possibilities, great accommodations, necessary conveniences, and dining experiences that run the gamut from casual to white linen.
The best part? Waterton is decidedly low key – and despite the park’s popularity, you’ll never have to fight crowds while wandering the streets. Somehow or other, Waterton has managed to maintain its authenticity and its exclusivity. This is a truly natural mountain municipality – the very kind of place you envision when conjuring up ideas of an unspoiled mountain town. It’s rustic, it’s friendly, and it offers everything a visitor may want or need, whether staying for a few hours or a few days.
You won’t find any outlet malls here and no valet will offer to park your car. But you will enjoy fine meals, excellent shopping and nice places to stay. And, if you’re like many of our visitors, you’ll be so captivated by it all that you’ll be planning your next trip before you even leave.
Nestled in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, our unique International Peace Park offers an unparalleled experience of natural beauty, outdoor adventures, and unforgettable memories! Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, an avid hiker, or simply seeking a tranquil escape, Waterton Park is the perfect destination for you.
Waterton is a place where natural wonder, history and people come together in a profoundly beautiful way. A place where time passes slowly and peacefully. It’s a place where unique community is formed between locals, visitors and Rocky Mountain wildlife. Waterton is a place that will grab hold of your memory and never let go.
Our park is small, but we like it that way. Even though more than 400,000 people travel here each year, it’s never crowded. You’ll discover gems that will make Waterton feel like your own secret hideaway. When you’re here, the stress of daily life simply falls away and all that’s left to do is relax and take it in.
