Fernie, British Columbia

Fernie, a town in the lush Elk Valley amid the towering Rocky Mountains, is an all-season, outdoor adventure tourist destination.

In summer, mountain bikers grind along some of Canada�s best trails, including the expert-rated Ich Bin Sofa Trail. Hikers follow winding trails through 900-year-old cedar trees in the Cedar Valley Growth Reserve. Tere is also golfing, rafting, and kayaking in the area.

In winter, Fernie offers some of North America�s best downhill skiing and snowboarding.

Fernie is remarkable for its 19th century brick and stone buildings, which were constructed after wood buildings were banned following a catastrophic fire.
