Fernie and The Elk Valley - An Outstanding Family Playground

Nestled deep in the Canadian Rockies, Fernie offers a vast array of vacation activities for all the family to enjoy.

Being on the western side of the continental divide, Fernie is at lower elevation than its more famous Albertan counterparts - thus greatly enhancing the natural beauty of the area since the town and surrounding areas are a lush sub-Alpine green nestled below impressive Alpine mountain ranges.

An important consideration for family holidays is that Fernie doesn't suffer from Mosquito infestations and, since it is a lesser known resort, suffers far less from overcrowding. Nevertheless, it still offers a range of activities as expected of any leading vacation destination.

Fernie offers world class fly-fishing on the Elk River, an 18-hole championship golf course, numerous mountain bike trails, wonderful hiking and wilderness walks, and exciting kayaking and white water rafting.

Fernie is rare amongst Canadian resorts, in that it has a thriving downtown district full of heritage and beauty. The Elk Valley's numerous family activites and the stunning scenery will undoubtedly make Fernie one of the fastest growing summer resort centres in British Columbia.

Elk Valley Vacations will be pleased to host you and your group for a stay in the area. Our exclusive access to Elk View Lodge means that whether you are a small fishing party or a family wedding group, we are sure you will enjoy what Fernie has to offer.
