MINUTES FROM TOWN, MILES FROM EVERYONE

Where small town charm meets big mountain adventure in the heart of BC's Rockies. Less than 3 hours from Calgary and 2 hours from Lethbridge, Fernie offers the closest mountain riding to Canada’s prairie provinces.

The legendary Griz coaxes 29ft of seriously deep annual snowfall from the sky, transforming this historic mining town and year-round adventure destination into a powder-seekers paradise.

The Fernie Snowmobile Association maintains five designated sledding areas in the valley. Impeccably groomed trails usher riders to rolling treeline meadows full of secret stashes, cutblocks, and impressive alpine cirques in just minutes from historic downtown. Fernie offers some of the province's best technical treeline riding and unforgettable ‘ferniefactor’ powder days. With it’s epic 360 mountain views, vibrant culture, and world-class amenities, Fernie is an easy place to stay and explore.
