Montane Trail System
Fernie's popular trail system that easily connects to Fernie Ridge Trails & Castle Mountain Trails. Accessible for non-motorized use only, Montane features many options including the Easy Beaver Adaptive Trail, a mellow and wide trail for all levels of trail users that leads to Montane Hut, an exceptional view point of the valley and Rocky Mountains.
From easy trails to intermediate there are a variety of singletrack options for mountain biking, walking, hiking and trail running. During the winter months many of the trails are groomed, including a dedicated Nordic skiing only trail to the Hut and back.
Fernie Ridge Trail System
Fernie Ridge system, is one of Fernie's most popular multi-use non-motorized trail systems featuring both beginner and advanced singletrack trails for mountain biking, walking, trail running and hiking in spring, summer and fall. Many of these trails are groomed in the winter for multi-use fat biking, XC touring (not track set) and snowshoeing. Foot traffic is not permitted in the upper trails due to maintaining the integrity of the grooming work.
