Trail life – wheel adventures
Warm sunshine on your back, flowy forested singletrack
in front. This is mountain biking in Fernie; as much a way
of life as a sport or hobby. Locals and visitors stop to chat
at trail crossings – sharing stories of epic rides, best trails
and favourite patios for appetizers and beer.
Spanning the valley is a network of over 100 trails from
gentle valley rides to fun and challenging cross-country
routes and thrilling DH descents. Whether you prefer
to spend an hour or explore all day, you’ll find all the
right trails to suit your ability, bike and mood. The Bike
Park at Fernie Alpine Resort is your destination for
lift-accessed big mountain action; ride the Elk or Timber
Chair to gain elevation to exciting DH trails you can loop
again and again.
