What type of holiday are you looking for? Are you traveling with family or friends? When would you like to visit? Let us make some recommendations!
Providing some of the most beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains, the cross-country trails at the Fernie Golf Club are great for everyone to enjoy.
**March 13, 2024 Update: Warmer weather and precipitation has damaged the trails, which are closed until further notice and are unlikely to re-open this season. Please see Fernie Nordic Society for further updates.
About 12 km of groomed tracks are available on the golf course. There is little elevation change on these trails making them ideal for beginner skiers. The start of the trails is at the Clubhouse where you will find ample free parking. The Fernie Nordic Society provides a porta-potty at this location. The trails are jointly groomed by the Golf Course and by the Nordic Society volunteers on a regular basis.
The trails at Fernie Golf Club are solely for cross-country skiers and do not permit dogs, fat bikes or snowshoes. If you wish to group includes multi-activities, we recommend Fernie Alpine Resort's cross-country trails, and the Montane Winter Trail network.
