Fernie
Fernie’s ideal setting in the Elk Valley amid the towering Rocky Mountains makes this mountain escape a four-season wonder. You can take it fast in summer—grinding along some of Canada’s premier mountain bike trails, from historic backcountry pedals to the expert-rated Ich Bin Sofa Trail. There’s also golfing, rafting, kayaking and winding hiking trails where you can stand in awe before the 900-year-old old-growth cedar trees at the Cedar Valley Old Growth Reserve.
As the seasons turn, the accolades for this town keep coming. The Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide 2004 voted Fernie Alpine Resort the "North American Resort of the Year." The Resort is a power paradise for skiers and snowboarders who can take on 109 defined trails, all serviced by ten lifts. And later, indulge yourself in the resort’s many spa experiences.
