Fernie Nature Tours

Outdoor experiences of a fun, friendly Fernie nature!

Discover the unique history of Fernie on a relaxing snowshoe through a beautiful forest with gorgeous views. Soft, quiet steps float through powder as we unravel the secrets and stories of wildlife in the snow at FAR, Mount Fernie Provincial Park or join an all day adventure exploring the rare old growth forest at Island Lake Lodge. Families love ‘Being Canadian Eh!’ enjoy an afternoon of all things Canuck – winter, snow, igloo, maple syrup, beaver, mountains and moose! Guided by sparkling stars, moon beams and headlamps, discover the nature of night followed by a decadent chocolate fondue beside a crackling fire. NEW for 2008, snowshoe through a tranquil winter wonderland followed by a tasty Swiss grilled fondue called raclette, served the traditional way.

Perhaps you want a day away from the snow to see the wildlife and heritage attractions in the region. Go with a local professional naturalist to where the wildlife are in winter and learn about amazing adaptations and local conservation strategies. Heritage van tours take visitors off the beaten path to historic sites, along scenic roads, to view wildlife and listen to colourful stories of our past. All tours include delectable homemade snacks and gourmet food.
