Learn about a variety of native flora, wildlife and fossils and explore the Alpine with certified interpreters.

Throughout the local mountain range, there is an abundance of native flora, wildlife and fossils. Without a doubt, the way to learn about these subjects and walk these mountains is with a certified interpreter. Visit the Interpretive Yurt at the top of the Elk Chair, and then take an interpretive guided hike on one of the resort's many trails and gain a deeper understanding of how our valley was formed and how special our ecosystem is. A team of guides will help you discover the secrets of the natural world while exploring the rugged terrain around Fernie Alpine Resort.

Open June - September 2022 for summer operations. 

The Interpretive Centre at Fernie Alpine Resort is named for 'Nature Bob' - Bob Livsey (September 10, 1939 - December 13, 2021) who was a nature guide at Fernie Alpine Resort for over a dozen years. Bob was a certified naturalist interpreter with a background in forestry and a great passion for the mountains. Bob was legendary within the local community as a font of knowledge, and will be remembered fondly by all who encountered him.
