local information

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. Downtown FernieAll 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.

Hiking in the Lizard Range 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.
