Premier Listings for Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie Alpine Resort is located in the Rocky Mountains of the British Columbia Rockies, offering some of the best skiing conditions in BC. Photographers regularly descend upon Fernie after a major snowfall to take those great magazine cover shots. Fernie is the fastest growing resort in Canada, and one of the top ten resorts in North America. The terrain at Fernie Alpine Resort is uniquely suited to take full advantage of the abundant snow fall that cascades over the resort every year.
The craggy cleft of the Lizard Range above the ski area is often likened to an open catcher’s mitt. The sheer limestone faces tower above the lifts of the ski area, trapping snow-laden storms and making Fernie a must-ski on British Columbia’s powder circuit.
Fernie’s mountain adventure centre offers a huge variety of day or evening activities to supplement downhill skiing and riding. Choices include moonlight snowmobile tours, snowshoeing, dogsledding, sleigh rides with a cowboy dinner option, and cross-country skiing.
The ski area rises about 3 miles (5 km) above the town of Fernie; you can see the massive bowls from Fernie’s Main Street. Fernie is located on the Crowsnest Highway 3, in the extreme southeast corner of British Columbia, near the provincial border with Alberta and the Canada/USA border at Roosville.
Calgary International Airport is serviced from most major North American and European cities. Cranbrook is accessible by regional air service of Air Canada Jazz and Pacific Coast Airlines. Car Rentals are available from Calgary International Airport and there are also locations in Cranbrook and Canmore. Private bus services, shuttles and taxi companies also run between Fernie and Cranbrook, Vancouver, Calgary, and other points in BC and Alberta.
