Experience Southern Alberta’s Amazing Natural And Cultural Heritage

Southern Alberta is known for its UNESCO World Heritage sites, aboriginal culture, cowboy heritage, breathtaking mountain scenery and rich history. Discover Alberta history and natural heritage at our world class historic sites, museums and Provincial and National Parks.

Three of our major heritage attractions are open year round: Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump near Fort Macleod, the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston and the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre in the Crowsnest Pass. Two unique parks: Waterton Lakes International Peace Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park are also a great way to discover the beauty and history of Southern Alberta.

Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump near Fort Macleod is approximately 6,000 years old and is the largest and best preserved buffalo jump in North America. Built right into the sandstone cliff, the seven-tiered Centre interprets the buffalo hunting culture of the Blackfoot people. Experience the educational interpretive programs happening daily or spend a night in the Travel Alberta Alto Award winning Evening Star tipi camp. Groups of up to 40 people can book the Joe Crow Shoe Sr. Lodge for meetings or catered meals.
