Fernie
Population 5,200 - Elevation 1,009m/3,310 ft

Fernie is defined by the towering Rocky Mountains and the wily Elk River. River runners and wilderness aficionados love it here, there is no limit to the outdoor opportunities. In town, Fernie’s architecture is a feast of 19th century brick and stonework. Wood was banned as a building material in the early 1900’s after a fire leveled all but 23 of the town’s buildings. An interpretive walking tour and a trip to the Historical Museum lends visitors insight on a community steeped in historical associations.

Fernie’s 18 hole renowned golf course is located in view of some spectacular mountain peaks. The Three Sisters Peak and Ghostrider Mountain loom over this great course.

In the winter months, Fernie is home to powder snow and the Fernie Alpine Resort offers some of the finest powder skiing in the world. Snow-cat skiing is also available nearby to Fernie at Island Lake Lodge.
