Trail life – hike, walk & run.
Inspiring alpine and valley views only
become more spectacular as you gain
elevation on the Rocky Mountain trails
encircling Fernie. Half-day hikes on Castle
Mountain or Mt Fernie trails are quickly
rewarded with big valley views. For a full-
day adventure, hike the ridge to Polar Peak,
summit Three Sisters Mountain or take
Heiko’s Trail to Island Lake Lodge. Join a
guided hike or book a private guide to turn a
hike into a personalized learning adventure.
