Fernie is an ideal summer location with an incredible breadth of mountain activities. Come see why it is favoured by many over the mountain parks.
There is also world class fly fishing for cutthroat trout in the elk and wigwam rivers. Walk and wade or drift boats – its all here. There are also 110 rides of mountain biking in six different areas, and even 40km of trails kept open all fall/winter/spring – try fat tire biking on snow (rentals available).
You can also do incredible hikes around the resort or island lake, go cliff jumping, skeet shooting, whitewater rafting, kayaking, stand up paddle (SUP) boarding, ziplining, waterskiing or even take a beach day. The possibilities are endless. Let us make it happen for you at The Timbers.
And then there were four…Fernie is now a golf destination!
With 360 degree mountain views, wildlife sightings, and great prices, Fernie Golf and Country club is a fantastic experience.
Elevate your tour with a round at Crowsnest Pass Golf Club – reimagined and reopened in 2020. To quote a guest: “It now ticks all the boxes of any marquis mountain course at half the price!” It’s an easy add to an inbound or outbound leg of a road trip, 45 minutes east of Fernie.
When the border opens, golf Montana’s best kept secret – the Sir Nick Faldo designed and #1 ranked Wilderness Club. It’s located 45 minutes away near the quaint town of Eureka. A typical day outing adds a round at Indian Springs Ranch. Enjoy a links style course set at the foot of Glacier National Park.
