Fall in Fernie:
A Golden Escape
Fall season transforms Fernie's landscape into a breathtaking canvas of gold, amber, and crimson.
Grounded in vibrant landscapes
The towering larch and aspen trees glow against the rugged Rocky Mountain backdrop, morning mist lingers over the Elk River, and the valley takes on a peaceful, almost magical feel.
For those who crave adventure, fall is the perfect time to explore, with plenty of opportunities to still play outside - hike, bike, cast a line on the Elk River, or capture the perfect shot of stunning larches in their golden gown.
Between outdoor pursuits, Fernie's cosy side shines. Wander the historic downtown, where boutique shops, craft breweries, and local inspired cuisine offer the perfect après-adventure atmosphere. Warm up with a locally roasted coffee, and settle in by a crackling fire as the cool mountain air sets in.
