Fernie is a historic city with a heritage linked to railroads,
mining and lumbering. At the turn of the century the city suffered
from major fires and floods. All
the buildings built downtown have a unique stone and brick construction
as a result of a municipal bylaw passed after the last fire in 1908.
Fernie has all the modern shopping conveniences as well as modern
medical facilities. We can provide guidance to the restaurants in
the Fernie area and can assist guests with reservations or other
tourist requirements.
Around Fernie there are still “old growth” cedars well
over 250 years old. We can direct you to nature’s hot springs
and find these special old growth cedars.
The famous Elk River runs through Fernie, this is a “world-class”
fly fishing river. Folks travel from all over the world to fly fish
this river. We can assist you in reservations to the many fly fishing
guiding shops in Fernie.
