Resort Guide

 

Rapidly growing in popularity is Fernie - renowned for its excellent snowboarding terrain and deep powder.

Buildings that have survived since the 1800's give the town of Fernie, only 5km from the
ski resort, a historic feel. Step back in time in this slow paced and cosy town that for a
long time locals have tried to keep to themselves.

As you would expect Fernie has world class accommodation, excellent shopping, entertainment, bars and restaurants. Excite in the mounds of snow, or simply sit back and relax and enjoy all Fernie has to offer.
