Trail & Adventure

Thanks to its location in the Rocky Mountains of southeast British Columbia, Fernie is the perfect base and staging area for exploring the East Kootenays on two wheels. A network of world-class backroads and forest service roads leads riders along pristine rivers, over high mountain passes, and through untouched wilderness. There are opportunities to spot wildlife, cast a line in legendary fishing waters, soak in creeks, and discover old ghost mining towns. From the Elk Valley’s less-traveled routes to a designated system of single-track trails — including family-friendly options with camping and staging areas, riding in the Kootenays is as diverse as it is unforgettable.
