The Legendary
Fernie, BC

A Legendary Mountain Town

Tucked deep in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Fernie, British Columbia is one of those rare places that still feels wild — a true mountain town with soul, history, and endless trails that wind through towering peaks and lush forest.

Founded in the late 1800s as a coal mining community, Fernie has evolved from its gritty industrial roots into a world-class outdoor destination. The town’s history runs deep — from the early railway and mining days to the resilient spirit that rebuilt Fernie after devastating fires in the early 1900s. That same spirit lives on today in the passionate community of locals, riders, and adventurers who call this place home.

A Trail Network Like No Other

Over the past 20+ years, Fernie has earned its reputation as one of North America’s top mountain biking destinations. With more than 100 trails surrounding the valley, riders can explore everything from fast, flowy singletrack to steep, technical descents — all framed by the rugged beauty of the Lizard Range and Elk River Valley.

Fernie’s riding scene has been shaped by dedicated volunteers, local builders, and the Fernie Trails Alliance, who’ve helped transform the landscape into a playground for every style of rider. Whether you’re climbing into alpine meadows or railing berms beneath old-growth forest, every ride in Fernie feels like an adventure.

Why We Love It

There’s a certain magic to Fernie — the way the trails connect straight from town, the post-ride patios filled with muddy smiles, and the small-town hospitality that makes every visitor feel like part of the crew. It’s this blend of community, terrain, and pure stoke that makes Fernie the perfect home for TransRockies Singletrack 3.
