Top 32 things to do and attractions in Fernie

I didn't come to the museum, but I managed to get some souvenirs (stickers) from the front counter. There's also plenty of brochures for tourists to keep.

Really neat Museum. They have a small gift shop. They accept donations.

I love this museum. A great 30 minute stop to learn about historical events in fernie. $5 per adult

Small but excellently curated local history museum in a lovely heritage building. Upstairs there's an art gallery presenting (and offering for sale at modest prices) diverse works of local artists.

Small museum, but packed with history. Cool little additional art gallery upstairs.

Small museum chock full of interesting artifacts.

Great little place to visit on a cold day. Very nice exhibit.

The Elk River, rising from Elk Lakes Prov. Park and a tributary to the Kootenay R. at Lake Koocanusa flowing thru the Cities of Elkford, Sparwood & Fernie. A river for fishing, flyfishing, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, or just floating. A wonderful clean freestone river.

Full of selenium due to Teck Industries mining practices, Teck industries also runs a huge smelter in trail bc

Really out of the way place, but beauty anyway.

Lovely little place. Gelato has wonderful texture and flavor. Service was top notch.

Amazing gelato, it tastes so great beyond what flavorings are added. I had espresso gelato, it was better than any espresso ice cream I've ever had. Recommendation for the business: sell the little chocolate bars separately, not just in the sample box. Such a fun little space to eat a tasty treat! Loved it.

Love the gelato and chocolate. One warning though, if you think of purchasing the sampler treat box of chocolate, please realize that the box is twice the size. In other words when you open the box, you will find that it is only half filled. True it states that it contains 10 bars, but the packaging is very deceptive. Shame!

Delicious ice cream Very welcoming place and nice people

This place is really neat, as they grow a lot of the ingredients they use to make their flavors. I had raspberry and chocolate, which had a great flavor and not too sweet.

Their Blueberry cream and Raspberry chocolate gelato are delicious. Nice service, spacious place with colorful couches to enjoy your ice cream. Lots of interesting chocolate bar flavours made on site to choose from.

This is easy. As it is THE best gelato i have ever tasted! The team takes pride in what they do and the quality of their product reflects that. Well done!

As an update since it's been a few years, we came back. It's still a great place to hang out and they have seating outside, which is great on a good weather day. Your dogs can hang with you outside with you too. The menu is totally different also. No more schnitzel, beer cheese, liver and onions etc etc. They do still have poutine and it's good, but the gravy that they used to have was off the hook with flavor. They have great salads now, burgers and poke bowl style stuff. So more options for people with gluten issues. The fries are still good and our waitress was great. It's still a great place for a pitcher of beer and to catch a good soccer game or some other sports with friends.

Always good beer! Walk up to the bar, friendly service only. Limited seating inside but lovely patio. We ordered pick up from a restaurant downtown and then brought it here to eat and enjoy a brew.

Seen this place while pulling into Fernie on summer vacation. The Fernie RV park was close proximity biking over. Plenty of parking if required. Sat on the patio and enjoyed a few drafts and played a few of the many games available beside the bar to bring back to your table. Kid friendly. No food just the basics of chips and such.

If you’re looking for a great brew while in Fernie then you have to venture to the Fernie Brewing Company. The assortment of brews (both tradition and non-alcohol) are outstanding. Matched only by the friendliness of the staff. Decent seating inside or outside on the shaded patio. Lots of great merch to let everyone know you’re a fan.

Great small brewery, excellent patio. Always the regular year round brews plus seasonal offerings. Flights offer a chance to sample several if you’re in doubt or adventurous. There are small snacks available and patrons are limited to four pints each.

Great beer, and wonderful staff. Special thanks to Paige from Calgary who was not just helpful in walking us through the newest beer, but she was helpful in providing recommendations for my next trip to Fernie with my kids!

Loved the whole experience here. Had a few flights which was an excellent way to try all their beers. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their beers. They have really cute merch too. Every beer we tried was great. The patio has excellent views and a cute place for dogs to hang out under a shaded awning. No food served here but they do have a small menu of snack items.

Great trail. Great for children too. At normal pace and a few stops for exploration , plan for about an 2 hours. Great fun!

This was a great hike. Along the way, my tiny human spotted little spots were the fairies were camping and it made her very happy. Good trail going in and out.

Distance: 5km out & back Elevation Gain: 143m Difficulty: Easy This trail truly lives up to its name—magical! Winding through the forest along the creek, it makes for a peaceful hike with a rewarding waterfall at the end. There are also a few crystal-clear pools by the falls, perfect for cooling off on a hot day(like today). A great option if you’re looking for a quick adventure in Fernie!

Was a great morning hike with amazing views. You can scramble over some rocks to get to the waterfall! Beautiful wildflowers with benches & picnic tables during the hike. Times will vary depending on fitness levels how long you stay admiring the falls or if you stop often for photos as we did! But its about 2.5kms each way with km markers & plenty of direction signs.

We absolutely loved this hike. The initial incline was the biggest of them all. Some nice small inclines on the way to the falls. About 15 minutes in we couldn’t hear the highway anymore which was nice. There were some areas that our dog could access the creek to cool off and grab a drink along the way. Overall a great beginners hike with beautiful scenery!

We took our five year old and almost 3 year old on this hike. It's lovely and very beautiful. Worth checking out, but it did take us closer 3 hours round trip which we were not prepared for based on other reviews. It was easy difficulty wise, never too much incline, just lengthier than anticipated with little ones.

Beautiful trail ! Soft for walking, minimal tripping hazards, and a gorgeous waterfall at the end! Super quiet as well.

Played a twilight round on the back 9 and really enjoyed it. Some challenging tee shots, 18 is a beast half moon and the pin positions weren't a breeze for a Tues (ladies night?) Nice practice setup with the chipping green and lots of range space. The layout between the proshop and having to go upstairs to the restaurant for a beverage seems a bit clunky. Not a very efficient setup at drop-off to the parking lot either.

Course is in great shape. Beautiful mountain setting and the staff was wonderful making our family golf experience exceptional!

Played Sept 15th. Rained the whole day but decided to tough it out. Would definitely play it again. Shout out to Dan for being a gracious host! Hopefully see ya next year

Great views, nice quiet course. The staff is friendly and the view from the deck is fantastic! Kids camps are a great deal and a fine way to get your children involved with golf at a young age. Check this course out for even a short 9 holes if you have a chance!

Three friends and I came here on July 7th for a girls’ golf trip, and were immediately met with arrogance and blatant misogyny from a young guy and an old man at the pro shop. They were condescending, dismissive, and made it painfully obvious that they didn’t think four women belonged on the course…even asking “do you guys know how to golf?” It was insulting, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.

Very nice course great views of the mountains. Nice people. Golf game terrible but we enjoyed the course and views. Spectacular.

Very poor handling by the staff. They maybe have a nice golf but Jaffray, Crownest pass, Cranbrook are by fare much much much more friendly. Fernie never again 😵‍💫😵‍💫.

Worth playing! Fun course, fairy technical and fun play through but shorter distance !

Great course, some holes are super difficult due to the 1000 trees. But it makes for a great day.

Probably my favorite course to date. Good combination of short and longer holes, open and obstructed holes. Lots of tree cover to protect from the sun.

Really fun 18 hole course that is well maintained. Only one area of the course you are at risk of loosing your disc. Holes are a bit close together so keep an eye out for other people and their discs!

Great place to walk the dogs and just wind down after a long day

We are not disc golf athletes but spent a morning playing here during a bachelor party weekend. Was a great, free activity (if you can get your hands on discs). The holes were quite tough to be honest, as there are a ton of trees, but if you focus on the joys of being outside in nature, hopefully you can get over that.

Awesome wooded course. Nice challenging mix of technical with distance. All baskets and well worth the trip out to play it. Teepad size has grown over time as people wear out the grass but still super fun.

Beautiful scenic area to stop and have a picnic. Several tables and benches surrounded the lake and an easy walking path.

Some Scottish woman kept calling me tarnished and talking about fingers?

Cool little place at edge of Fernie behind Canadian Tire but not really for swimming i would say. Still nice place to view with mountains as a backdrop

A beautiful place in the strangest of places! Never would I have thought, that behind a Canadian tire and grocery store, in the middle of a ski town, I would find the most peaceful slice of heaven. I suggest to visit this lake in the fall of you can! The colors are amazing, and the view of the mountains in the background, makes this a picture perfect moment for visitors and locals!! It is one of my favorite place to photograph families!!

Great area to go for a walk and nice lake

Lovely swim spot on a hot day

Its more of a pond than a "lake".

I had the buffalo chicken sandwich at the Brickhouse in Fernie and it exceeded expectations. The chicken was tender with just the right kick, and the crispy onions added an incredible texture. The flavors were bold, balanced, and genuinely impressive. Even the fries were cooked to perfection—crispy outside, fluffy inside. I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the food and the attentive service. The cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. This spot is a gem in Fernie and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it if you're in town!

Best food and service we have had in a long time! The salmon/ beet salad was amazing. My husband's burger and fries were incredible! Large portions. The waitress was so good!

Lovely little place. Food was excellent. My partner ordered crispy chicken sandwich with fries. I ordered the brie burger with truffle fries. Both were divine. Service was prompt and courteous. Worth checking out. Stairs to the front door so I don't believe its wheelchair accessible.

The food was awesome at this restaurant. I had the best chicken pesto sandwich. We loved the food and would visit again when we are in Fernie

The steak sandwich was so good - one of the best I’ve ever had. The fries were really good too. The chicken sando was amazing and the flatbreads had tasty pesto. It was busy when we arrived but we had a beer at the bar until a table opened up. The service was really good and everyone on the staff was doing their thing to make everyone’s lunch amazing. It didn’t take long to get seated and it was worth the wait. Highly recommend this spot if you are in Fernie and hungry/thirsty.

Had a really nice evening with friends for dinner and drinks. The beer was flowing and great options. Service was quick and didn't have an empty pint for longer than 30 seconds. I got a burger and it was just ok. Would go back and try more appetizers next time, they looked good

The absolute best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Service on point, atmosphere immaculate, food? EVEN BETTER. To put it simply I would chop off my leg for a supply of those blue cheese chicken sandwiches. Thank you for blessing me with the magical French fries you all make.

Great place to learn drops, jumps, and wood elements. Family friendly with a fun atmosphere. Skateboard park nearby as well. Good times!

The best pump track I have ever seen

Awesome! Caters for all from toddlers on strider bikes to pros. Great to see how many people use it.

Great place for spending leisure time

awesome park took a lot of hard work hat is off to the builders

Fantastic park.

Great Park + winter slides !!

It had tennis courts ,base ball field and a small frisbee golf course.👍👍👍Dogs on leash are fine and it has access to the river.🐕🐾👍

We come to Fernie for the Lazy Lizard Disc Gold course. Love the environment, the giant trees, and the course. It’s a fabulous place.

Very nice park. Loved all the dandelions in bloom.

Nice park with several options for activities. We went for the disc golf course. We are just learning the sport and found the course very difficult because it’s all amongst the trees. It’s also a full 18 holes so we never ended up doing the whole course, it just took too long. Also needed a large amount of bug spray! Well taken care of though from what we could tell.

Love this spot spent some time fishing here and highly recommend. Been here 5 or 6 times usually smaller trout but landed 2 really nice fish in the river.

Could use a few signs once move away from obvious trail along river.

Beautiful park with disc golf and great creek to paddle in. Wear bug spray if you’re doing disc golf in the summer.

We hiked in mid May and got about 3/4 of the way up before we hit too much snow to hike without poles or ice spikes. Beautiful hike, constant up and steep as expected with 900m up in about 4km. It sounds like the snow clears for June ish time.

No facilities no trail signs you are on your own lots of animals up this valley don't hike alone.

Great hiking area with the dogs

Location location location. Great little hike.

Fun for browsing and try some samples. Food trucks is good idea.

So many local vendors and fresh produce

Our experience was simply unforgettable! Our two servers were an absolute riot—knowledgeable, personable, and always ready with a great recommendation. The food was fresh, served quickly, and every bite was a delight. We even requested something off the menu, and they absolutely delivered on that too. The cocktail game was on point—next level and very well priced. A special shout-out goes to Natalie and Justine, who truly made our night. Their friendly and vibrant personalities had us laughing the whole evening, and they went out of their way to ensure my partner’s birthday was celebrated in style. Even though we arrived late, they accommodated us until the very end. This visit was definitely a highlight of our Fernie birthday road trip, and we can’t wait to come back again!

The tonkotsu shoyu ramen tasted amazing and had a rich flavor. The noodles had the perfect texture and softness. The server asked if I wanted to make it spicy ...I said no, but I appreciated that they offer that option for spicy food lovers. I went as a party of one and waited in the waiting area for about 15 minutes, during which the server asked if I wanted a drink. It’s a great place that I would recommend for a group of friends, but not so much for an intimate date night, as the environment is better suited for a loud and fun evening.

We visited this restaurant on September 19, 2025 for a birthday dinner. Our server Krista was awesome! Very personable, knowledgeable about the house cocktails and the food. We ordered a wide variety of sushi, rolls and entrees, all of it was phenomenal. Appropriate portions, quality ingredients, and well presented. Highly recommend! Our group will.be back!

The best sushi place in Fernie. We were surprised how good our sushi were, for such a small town the food quality was amazing. Also loved the modern music playlist! The cocktail menu is impressive, Toki Pom Sour is my favourite 🤩 Must try sushi rolls - unagi, kryptonite, Krista, Fernie steak & chi roll. Thank you guys for a welcoming atmosphere and wonderful customer service. Keep in mind that most of the menu items are done from scratch and it takes a while to prepare your order.

Stopped in Fernie and was pleasantly surprised by the vegan options here. The food was great!

Love the foods. We will definitely come back, especially for the sashimi.

Great food! Was surprised by the size of the sashimi quite big and very tasty. The spicy rolls can't remember their name, they're SUPER hot they have a note that it's serious but I feel like adding that they have ghost pepper in them would be nice

Very nice stop on our road trip home, we were able to get gas and park our truck and trailer within walking distance at the gas station which was great. Good ice cream, loved the honey ice cream and Rocky road. Also my daughter (1) dropped her ice cream almost right away and I went to order another one and they didn’t charge me which I thought was very kind.

We visited this ice cream shop in Fernie on August 5 after supper and chose it because of the great reviews. The ice cream totally lives up to the hype! I had one with honeycomb pieces in it (10 out of 10 deliciousness!) and my husband had the huckleberry, which was also 10 out of 10 deliciousness! The person working wasn’t the friendliest, so that first impression wasn’t the best, but the ice cream itself more than made up for it. We still really enjoyed our visit and the flavors were absolutely worth the stop. Worth every single lick!

I really loved the ice cream here! They had so many gluten free options! My Smores ice cream had actually marshmallow mixed in.

Happy Cow Ice Cream in Fernie was a great spot to stop in for ice cream. Their selection of flavors is impressive, with something for everyone, including dairy-free options. The ice cream is creamy and delicious. I had the honeycomb flavour and it was very unique but satisfying. The staff is friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through Fernie, be sure to stop by Happy Cow Ice Cream for a scoop of happiness!

If you're visiting Fernie you absolutely have to try the ice cream here!

Huge scoops, so prepare some space for all of that! Honeycomb seems to be everyone's favorite (and after trying it, I can understand why), but all of their flavors are absolutely delicious.

Update: Went back twice this past week. They have a macaroon flavour on the menu at the moment. If you like creamy choco and desiccated coconut, I recommend you try it. Service on point, as usual. The clerk is so calm and courteous, even when she is the only one working and there is a line-up. Thanks for serving awesome ice cream! Got a scoop of the honeycomb and one of Johnny's addiction-- delicious flavours. Loved that their waffles cones were thinner and crispier than the typical ones.

Very beautiful settings.

When we travel we visit a local library. Fernie library is one of must to see libraries. Historic, unique and beautiful.

The young lady that helped me today was an absolute pleasure, she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. A very beautiful building that I look forward to visiting again and again.

Thank you clerical wizards for helping with my sensitive paperwork. ”Oh the spells you weave they are a thing of beauty and wonder."

Wonderful library in a beautiful, historic building. I particularly enjoy 2nd floor seating with a nice selection of magazines and newspapers to enjoy for free.

So many good books!!!🥰🥰

Lovely people and a lovely library. My only wish is that it was opened before 11am..

A good aquatic center with friendly staff, but the limited seating space can make attending swimming events challenging.

Love the pool, most of the time it’s great for families and not to crowded, lucky to have this pool in our town!

Nice lap pool, wading pool and hot tub with beautiful views of the mountains. They also have a waterslide that’s now open. They've got lockers for your stuff that you can throw your own lock on.

Changing rooms were spotless and lifeguards/staff were really nice. Water was clean and not too much chlorine and felt like a good ph. Went lane swimming and had the lane to myself, perfect situation. Everything I need at a pool

Super fun and very affordable family rates. The graduated depth of warm kiddie pool is great for helping even the littlest kids gain confidence in the water. The big kids love the Tarzan swing, water slide, diving board, basketball hoop and many floaties to play on. Great time for all ages.

Honestly, not very impressed with the maintenance and constant issues with this aquatic center.. it's outdated, the hot water is constantly broken (kiddie pool and hot tub are not very enjoyable in that case). When everything does work, the staff is always AMAZING! We love them. They deserve 10 stars for all their hard work. The outdoor splash park is great for the summer! Not sure why the Aquatic center does not get much love from the taxpayers money, as it is one of the very limited family friendly options for indoor fun in Fernie. It has lots of potential and I'm sure the residents would appreciate it.

Beautiful facility with beautiful views of the mountains. A great end to a day of skiing is soaking in the hot tub enjoying the spectacular view. There is also a warm kids pool, a 25 meter pool, steam room, and a small workout area.

The store is great. The follow up not so much. Be aware when you purchase a painting the store turns it over to the artist to ship. This was not communicated to me. I am now 1 month in waiting to hear about the arrival of a painting. Spent close to $1200. After sales service is very poor. Voice mail not returned. It was explained to me by an employee they had nothing to do with the shipping " we're a co-op". No wonder small businesses in small towns go out of business. Such a shame.

Beautiful place to be and shop, I love that you can connect with the artists.

Wonderful selection of Canadian made, local art with a great variety of mediums. From greeting cards to small prints to masterpieces for your wall, or mittens and touques, handmade cigar box guitars, leather work, jewelry...if you're looking for a great gift for yourself or someone special, you'll probably find it here!

Cute little place with alot of neat art pieces. But what put me off was the extremely poor customer service! No greetings, how can I help you, or any sort of acknowledgement. Just a future tip, customers tend to buy, and buy more things when they feel acknowledged.

First time visitor to Fernie and this shop and I was very impressed, a nice variety of handmade treasures! Hope to return again.

Lovely gallery full of local art. If you're looking for a gift or need some beauty on your walls I would definitely suggest you check out the art co-op in Fernie!

Super friendly, helpful and patient artists running the place and tonnes of gorgeous artwork and handmade items to choose from!

One of the best massages I've had. Sabrina was great. It is in the little details that she does: warm cloth on your neck and feet; pillows on your back and shoulders to make you comfortable. The foot and head massage were add-on that are soooo worth it.

Amazing massage at Spa 901! I reserved time in the hot pool which was so relaxing. I had a 60-min massage which was incredible! We chose to get a massage here after several days of hiking at Glacier NP and it was a great decision! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing and calming. Tea, water, sandals, robe, locker room and showers all provided. I loved being able to take a shower after the massage to rinse off the oils. The staff here also gave us great restaurant recommendations!

My best friend and I went to Spa 901 for the afternoon recently, during a girls' trip to Fernie. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We had facials together, in a room for couples, which was a really fun bonus for us. Usually, we have to do them separately. We both said afterwards it was one of the most relaxing facials we have ever had! We also had a pedicure, and our favorite part of that was the foam moisturizer and hot stone massage that was included in the one we booked. The hot pool was a nice perk, and there is also a relaxation lounge to sit in. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back here! I want to take a moment to recognize an employee who went above and beyond, to make this a memorable and relaxing day for us. Vanessa, who does client relations there, is exceptional! She emailed back and forth with me numerous times, helping me choose services, adjusting appointment times and days to fit with our travel schedule, making sure we had time for the hot pool and time to get ready to go out after our spa day, helping me keep the facials a secret from my friend, giving me local recommendations of restaurants, etc, etc. Then, when we met face to face, she checked on us twice while were there, to make sure we were well taken care of. I have not received this type of service from a staff member at a spa any time in the years my friend and I have been spa-hopping all over the US. Vanessa showed kindness, intentionality, and willingness to help, over and over again during our interactions. She deserves a raise or a bonus! She clearly loves her job and enjoys making other people happy, and she's very good at it. Thank you, Vanessa, and thank you Spa 901 staff, for a special day with my dearest friend. If we are back in Fernie, we will be back to see you!

What an amazing experience! I can't recommend Spa 901 enough. The space is beautiful, relaxing, welcoming, stocked full of amenities, things you don't even think about until you need them. They have it. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It's such a warm inviting atmosphere. We booked a couples massage and an hour in the hot pool came gratis. That hot pool is awesome! Those jets will cure any muscle ails you have. Then we moved onto the couples massage. Holy. Moses. We had Tanya and Genevieve - absolute artists. The room was beautiful, with a fireplace, mood lighting, serene music. The massage beds are warmed - such a treat! And Tanya and Genevieve are healers. I don't think we've felt this relaxed since before we learned what bills were. They were both so amazing, friendly, absolute professionals - thank you both! We're already planning another trip up from MT just to come spend a day at Spa 901 again. BOOK HERE. You will not regret it!

Had a wonderful girls' weekend in Fernie, starting with a serene morning at Spa 901. The outdoor hot tub was incredibly soothing, and I thoroughly enjoyed the facial and upper body massage. The staff were welcoming, and the spa itself was spotless, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding. Accessibility was also a plus—my mom uses a walker and was able to comfortably enjoy the spa services and navigate the change rooms with ease.

Loved everything about this place. People, place and service were fantastic. I would definitely recommend it to those who are looking for relaxing massage session. I loved it!

What a beautiful Spa. Staff excellent. I started with the outdoor pool and then Tayia did the Tranquility Body Glow, it was so relaxing and the oils smelled so good. Thank you Tayia. Thank you for such a beautiful day everyone.

Great place to get your breakfast! It’s very busy so be prepared to stay in line for a bit and long wait to get your bagel! They have plenty of flavors for bagel.. it’s hard to pick one sometimes! As well, they have delicious coffee! And cups are big if you’re sitting in! Bagels were delicious but price point for what you’re getting is quite high. Our 2 bagels and 2 coffee came to 44$. They have lots of tables outside so bring some layers if you’re going in first thing in the morning:)

Delicious sandwiches !!!!! The flavours were on point. The bagels were a nice texture. The prices were reasonable. We stumbled upon this place as we pulled into Fernie and were so happy we did! Will definitely revisit.

A fernie must!!! The bagels were so fresh, soft, and delicious. I had the Switchback Salmon & my husband had the Mr Fernie. We loved both! I also purchased some bagels and tubs of their cream cheeses to take home.

This place should have better hours as there’s no time I can go there. I start work before they open and finish work after they close that’s a shame. How is the work man supposed to get some bagels?

The best bagels in the world! The salmon lox is a sandwich I dream of. The onion and garlic bagel is a bagel made from the mind of a genius, its like when you get the crispy burnt edge of a bagel, but its the whole bagel. I wish it was closer to home as I dont come to fernie very often, but everytime I do come through- I stop.

We had heard so much hype about Big Bang Bagels and even people from my city told me I had to try it when visiting Fernie! We went on August 6 and there was a big line out the door which made me even more excited! The wait to order was about 20 minutes but the staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Mr Fernie, my husband had the Griz, and our daughter had a plain bagel with cream cheese! We were lucky to find a table which was such a treat after waiting in line! The bagels were fresh and the everything bagel was piled high with poppy seeds which was kind of fun to see, but both my husband and I felt like our choices were a little lacking in flavor! The experience itself was fun and the staff truly made it special! But for us it just did not quite live up to all the hype! Maybe it was just the items we picked, but I am not sure I would return on a future trip!

This was my third time visiting Big Bang Bagels, it never disappoints! The freshest bagels you will ever have! This time I tried the Hamlet and Cheese and it was delish!

Amazing spot!! We went with a group of friends and ordered family style. We got the Mexican street corn, patacones, two platters of tacos (a feature prawn one, chicken, pork belly x2, beef, and hongos), tamarind ribs (familia size), achiote glazed pork belly bites, papitas, and churros for dessert. The flavours and sauces were all just so good! A few additional comments: - I recommend ordering 1 order of the corn per two people as it’s one cob cut in half. It was delish! - The patacones were my least favourite item but were well enjoyed by the others - the feature prawn taco, pork belly taco, and drunken beef tacos were the overall favourite tacos! - I can’t pick an overall favourite between the pork belly bites, tamarind ribs, corn, and papitas. They were all so good! - great atmosphere inside. Hope to go back to enjoy the lovely patio on a sunny day - I loved my blackberry mocktail and my friends enjoyed the classic lime margarita pitcher. I wish they would add more mocktail options to the menu as it was very limited. And also wish they’d add mojitos! For those of us who don’t like margs, it’s a great alternative. - the sauces with the churros were too runny. Hopefully they can revisit and thicken them just a bit so the sauces stay on the churro better after being dipped

Love the vibes of this restaurant. We ordered the mushroom and yam fries taco, both we awesome! Next week ordered the corn and beetroot salad, loved the dressing on both. Only complaint is I was not happy with tres leches, I found the cake to be too dry. I wish they had more vegetarian options. Overall a wonderful experience.

Omg. It’s been two weeks since we were in Fernie and i haven’t stopped thinking or talking about this place, well, more like craving. Tonight i tried to make arepas and failed. I can cook tamales, chile relenos and even crazy good black bean soup, but never even had an arepa till Nevados. Now I’m addicted. Actually we’re all addicted…to everything we ate and if our stomachs would have let us, we would have ate more. The staff was very nice to us and eventually moved us out to their amazing patio. The corn bread was the best I’ve ever had bar none. The tacos were great, the arepas well you know…, the tostadas and even the desserts were all amazing and fresh and super quality. I’m literally drooling thinking about driving back down from Calgary to eat there… Kudos to the kitchen staff. You guys rock out some absolutely amazing food. XX Crazy restaurant foodie guy.

I recently visited Nevados on my trip to Fernie this summer. The host was friendly, explained that they are a first come first serve restaurant in order to be as fair as possible. We went for a drink at the Fernie Distillers while waiting for our table. Let me tell you, Nevados was worth the wait! Our server Erin was incredible, the food and drinks were outstanding. 10/10 would visit again!

A must visit when visiting Fernie! This place had such good food I can’t stop thinking about it! Tacos were all so good my favourite was the pork belly tacos. Great service and great drinks. Definitely recommend the coconut ginger margarita.

Been here a few times Love the food each time, just wish the tacos had more vegetarian friendly options, currently just 2. The beetroot Asada is a must try. Tres leches was great the first time we were here, and quite on the dry side the 2nd time

2nd time here and just as good as we remembered! Had the aguachile, papitas,mussels, pork belly and Baja tacos. So good

We recently skied and snowboarded with FWA and had an absolutely shred-tastic time! The guides (Tyler and Tate) were knowledgeable, fun, and so well versed in the terrain! They ensured that we all were safe but had options to go harder for all runs! Ethan took some great pics and Jordan navigated the cat with ease! The conditions were great, the terrain was varied with some steep glades, open meadows and a few cliffs opportunities! We had a blast, got a full day of shredding, and greatly enjoyed the experience!

I have been skiing with Fernie Wilderness adventures for two years now. Last year was unbeatable. We had a private cat to ourselves, never ending powder and three guides, Mikey, Brian and Aaron who are all big beauties. We hit up bonus pow, side pow even sneaky pow. Admittedly, it was a tough year to follow up. In my opinion, a great Cat Skiing company is proven when the weather does agree with your plans of shredding some sick powder. This year, we had ear to ear smiles while blasting through a second year of powder packeted cliffs. On our third day without a dump of snow plus sunny days, most cat ski groups would not be able to pull up some fresh powder. These guys and gals pulled a rabbit out of a hat. They made sure everyone in our group had a blast. Thanks for the memories. Sincerely, The CAT SKI broskis

Five-Star Review for Derek, Supreme Commander of Trout If you’ve never floated the Elk River with Derek, let me save you the trouble: he’s not just a fishing guide, he’s the cult leader of all trout. My current wife (emphasis on current — she’s still on probation) and I hauled in 30 cutthroat trout, which I personally attribute to me being the single greatest angler to ever live. (Sorry Hemingway, sorry Poseidon, bow down.) Derek just happened to be there holding my net and laughing at his own jokes, which were somehow funnier than the fact that trout apparently lined up to die in my presence. This man has fished with more celebrities than TMZ, and if he hasn’t, he’ll at least convince you he did while you’re too busy reeling in your 27th fish. Derek told so many stories that I was crying from laughter while simultaneously landing yet another trout — basically achieving peak human performance. Honestly, the Elk River should be renamed the Dave River in my honor, but Derek can be the unpaid river jester who ensures my legend lives on. Google only allows five stars, but Derek deserves a Netflix comedy special, a statue in the middle of the river, and probably his own line of trout-flavored cologne. If you want to laugh until your ribs hurt, catch enough trout to fill Noah’s Ark, and bask in the glow of the world’s greatest fisherman (me), book Derek immediately.

Primarily a day trip operation, but we stayed at their lodge for 3 nights - HIGHLY recommend this as it is cheaper than staying in town and they take great care of you. Incredible meals and a wood burning hot tub (just don't expect TV or wifi). Best skiing of our lives. We are advanced skiiers but had never left the resort before and it was perfect for us. Untouched lines 5,6,7 days after the last storm. Guides are awesome people and really know the terrain well. Never felt unsafe and was smiling the whole time.

Great crew with great terrain. Can only recommend FWA for day trips or for staying in their back to the roots lodge with amazing food and service.

Great place to go for some deep powder skiing. We had Mikey and Kate as our guides. We were led to the best runs.

So much to say about this location but I'll keep it simple. Excellent place to have a wedding as we did. The road up to the lodge is well kept and pretty much any vehicle can execute the drive. The lodge runs on a gen set that ran great,no issues for 2 1/2 days. There's a firewood heated 8 man hot tub and huge fire pit together at the back of the lodge that seemed to be the favorite gathering place Huge tall swing for the kids to enjoy,wildlife abounds(deer,bear,moose)we had a moose watching us from a short distance enjoying the celebrations. A definite place to check out when visiting Fernie.(OH ya)this is also a fishing/hunting/ski lodge.

The cocktails and mock tails that we had here were all amazing! The ticket to ride was the best espresso martini that my friend has ever had, it had some light gram cracker undertones that were amazing! The steady eddy mocktail was also a favorite and three of us got it. I could sip that for days. The place is cute, the servers are friendly and helpful. Great place to pop in for a drink, or two, or five.

Alex x Jan (pronounced Yawn!) were great hosts. Alex mixed up some tasty cocktails. I’m partial to gin but gave their twist on a Negroni a try (both ways) and they did not disappoint. My partner did the old fashioned and the country south sour (something like that) and both were wins. We also did a 4 part tasting and the cinder was such a surprise. Def recommend a visit if you’re in Fernie. Do a tasting and grab a bottle. It’s unique and tasty.

Highly knowledgeable about spirits and cocktails in general. Their spirits are top notch and the atmosphere is vibey! Highly recommend for a well balanced cocktail stop.

This small establishment is quit the diamond in the rough. With it's one of a kind drink menu and their one of a kind story it is the place to come to in Fernie. It was a surprise when were came how it had it's own character not to add they were so hospitable. Hard working educated staff made the experience memorable. I would recomend this place for a great night cap x

What an excellent place this is. We were given some special access to purchase some FD swag and a couple of bottles to take home and can't wait to come back and enjoy some cocktails. Super location, super friendly owners. Delicious beverages and a very cool setting.

Amazing cocktails! The perfect place for a pre-dinner (or post-dinner) drink. Super unique creations and bartenders are very helpful with tasting notes, recommendations, etc. Fernie Fog is the best!

Fun, creative, interactive, and even color changing drinks. The Doctor's Orders drink was awesome with a syringe to change the blue drink to purple! It even came with a tasty dried fruit leather.

Cute little café in Fernie. So cozy. They have good selection of merch, coffee was good but the matcha was very diluted.

Delicious! They have a variety of drinks from rotating pour overs and drip coffee, to espresso based drinks and teas. Quick service and a cute spot. Had a delicious iced mocha from here. They staff were very accommodating in making me a smaller sized drink at a lower price even though the iced drinks generally only come in one size. Do note that it is very busy in the morning. I walked past at 10am on a Sunday and there was a line all the way outside. Came back around 2pm and it was much better. Definitely hit this place up if you're in Fernie!

Coffee flavour is so yummy, the latte milk is very velvety. Lovely service !! I’ve also gotten a cookie here before and it was great:)

The coffee here is exceptional which is why I stop. However the wait time is often too long so I’m frequently heading elsewhere to grab a coffee. If you have 20min + to wait for a late you’ll have a great experience here.

The interior of this shop is designed so well. Love the walls and chair combo. Definitely visit again!

This is a cute little coffee shop and the portguese tarts were amazing! I had a london fog tea and it was one of the better ones I've had. The only disappointing part was how slow the service was and the baristas werent really friendly either. But my only guess was how overwhelmed they were with how busy it was and may have been short handed too.

I gave this a 1 but should have been 1/2 star. First the barista just chatted with her friend and took 20 minutes to make a latte. The barista chatted about her visa etc. No attention to the customers at all. I wouldn't continue her employment as she has a lot to learn about customer service. I saw two other couples walk out saying the service was slow and unnattentive. Second, the latte was terrible in taste. Not worth the wait.

Decent Nordic area. Heads up, when your pulling into the parking lot the path is on your left to get to the ski area.

First rate skiing!

Great trail network with excellent views!

Trails were in great condition

What a beautiful resort, peaceful, the house here is well equipped with everything you need to enjoy. Hot tub, BBQ, log fire, fast internet, perfect temperature indoors. The view outside at the moment is beautiful pine trees the smell of these trees hits you when you first arrive. Fernie is a beautiful quaint little town, with plenty of options for dinning. Good shopping, great supermarkets with good range.

Went for a school trip, haven't been able to beat this. Best skiing in a long time, great powder coverage and plenty of groomed runs. It's got a little bit of everything for all levels. My only regret was that I didn't go to the polar peak.

Amazing spot to visit. The town is surrounded by beautiful mountains 🏔️. Travelled here for a bike race and was so worth the cross Canada 🇨🇦 trip! Tks Fernie!

As soon as you get to know your way around the mountains and different bowls it's absolutely amazing. There's skiing for everyone at all skill levels, and the views from atop the ski hills (especially the cedar bowl) are absolutely amazing.

Trails were in good shape, staff was very friendly and the flow trails were well designed. Great experience for our family! Note, if you're biking with beginners who have not done much downhill biking before consider starting on cross country trails in the region. Some of the green trails here are still very steep and challenging for new riders. Happy Trails!

Easy to find , friendly staff not to mention the view. It is now my go to mountain.

Waiting in line an hour and half to get a lift ticket is completely unacceptable for a resort of this caliber. The line went so far into the parking lot it was getting dangerous for small pedestrians.

We had a great experience at Mount Fernie Provincial Park. We spent two nights and really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone was respectful, and super quiet. The sites were well maintained and fairly large. Great cell phone reception as you are just a few minutes drive outside of town. Showers were great, clean, and we were supplied with nice warm water and good water pressure. My only criticism is the barking dogs that live near the provincial park. I think there's a property on the way up to the site that has a large dog that they clearly can't control. This is out of the Parks' control, but it was quite irritating early in the morning and late at night. We will return and book a site deeper into the park to avoid hearing this dog.

This is such a great park. Staff were great , sites are well treed and large. Some little hikes and a creek right in the park . Pit and regular toilets, free showers but you do have to boil water, so best to bring or buy drinking water .

Such a beautiful spot to camp. We had a spot right by the creek. You could hear it the whole time in your site. At night the stars were out in full force. It was so beautiful. There are hiking trails right from the campsite and the campsite is only minutes from town. It's so peaceful and quiet. A great way to get away from it all.

This park is very close to the main road and easy to find. The road to the park include 1.2 km of gravel road but it is well maintained. Available campsites are listed on the park bulletin board and there are signs on each site clearly indicating which sites are available on FCFS basis. The sites offer no services but are large, fairly level and fairly private. There is a large, new, clean, central shower house with flush toilets plus pit toilets around the park. The showers are free and have hot water. The campground is on a hillside and the roads have old, pitted pavement. The interpretive trail along a creek was well maintained with good signs that are informative and looked like new. This park has hiking and mountain bike trails with maps at the trail heads that include difficulty level.

I recently visited a beautiful BC provincial park for a hiking trip. The lush greenery surrounding me was a sight to behold and it instantly made me feel more relaxed as I began my walk. The trail was peaceful, allowing me to take in the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The highlight of my hike was discovering a small river that was simply stunning. The refreshing water flowed gracefully through the rocks and trees, and I couldn't resist taking a moment to sit down and appreciate it all. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with awe-inspiring views and a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Excellent provincial park. Good showers here that were very clean when we visited. There are numerous potable water taps throughout the park and a dish sink at the showers and bathrooms. The outhouses have been recently redone, so recent when we visited that they still smelled strongly of fresh ceder wood. The campsites are spread out reasonable far and well wooded. We stayed during the pandemic when only BC residents were supposed to be allowed, though 90% of the campers were from Alberta, but the park was so spacious there wasn't any worry about being too close to any other parties.

Beautiful forest, etc. Fun drive up the mountain on that small, winding road - best to have a 4wd.

Someone in the area recommended this place as somewhere cool to check out but I’m not sure when the last time they went was. I was excited to see super tall trees. The trees were wide but the couple that remain don’t tower over the rest of the trees. Most are dying or broken. The trail is not maintained which wouldn’t matter if it was worth while.

Beautiful but not maintained anymore. Signs are missing and the trail us totally overgrown. Still cool to visit though.

It truly is unfortunate that this trail hasn't been maintained at all. It's totally overgrown, the information signs are faded & some broken. These ancient trees are beautiful & are the oldest Cottonwood trees left in the world. Many of them are dead & you can see why they're called widow makers. The walk was disappointing as we couldn't really pay attention to the trees as we were bush-wacking the entire time. I really hope the group that maintains this trail will come back & clear it up a bit as it's shame for people not to see these trees.

The signage at the beginning is a bit hard to find, and it's not wheelchair accessible, but otherwise it's an easy walk with good info signage throughout. It's a very peaceful way to spend some time in nature while learning about a rare species.

Nice short walk- took maybe 20 min. Well marked, would be ok for kids, but not a paved trail, so not great for strollers or wheelchairs

Incredibly overwhelming to think about the time these massive living things have inhibited these river banks. The stories they would have to tell...

The path has seen better days, but you're still able to explore the ancient beauties

Stumbled upon this place! A vibrant hub of local art and music that makes you feel part of the town’s creative spirit. A true hidden gem!

Cool spot for sure. Staff was rude though, person running the front desk only took one headphone out to talk to me and was more focused on her computer screen than me.. Your job is to interact fully with everyone who walks through your door, not to browse instagram or whatever.

Great Wednesday night summer concert series. Not every band is the best, but many are worth a listen.
