Activities
It is
hard to believe but Fernie's mountains may have more to
offer in the Summer months than during Winter! After the snow
melts, the flowers bloom, the grass turns green and
opportunities to explore Fernie's high country abound. Take a leisurely stroll through the forest
to enjoy our beautiful mountains, or go on a fly
fishing excursion to one of our many trout filled rivers and
streams.
Better yet if mountain biking is your deal head out to the
trails... there are too many
single track trails to name (and we can't give up all our
secrets).
For those of you looking to increase the
length of your drive off the tee, you have come to the right
place! x excellent golf courses are located in the
valley. Each
course has exceptional scenery, and plenty of challenging
holes as would be expected in this high alpine environment. |
