Outdoor Adventures
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. A half-day hike on Mt. Fernie is quickly rewarded with incredible scenery. For a full-day adventure, hike the ridge to Polar Peak, summit Three Sisters Mountain or take Heiko’ s Trail to Island Lake Lodge or Mt. Fernie.
