Mountain Biking in Fernie

Fernie has long been known as a destination in the mountain bike world. As riding styles have changed, so too has the types of trails being constructed in the area. Fernie is surrounded by a network of trails that range from leisurely and suitable for anyone just getting into the sport, to so serious even professionals get nervous thinking about them. Mountain biking in Fernie should be on the bucket list of everyone.

Where to bike?

There are 5 main riding areas in Fernie. Mt Proctor, Ridgemont, Castle Mountain/Montane, Mt Fernie Provincial Park, and Ski Hill. Each area has a distinct feel and flow to the trails. Currently, Ridgemont is closed to the public as the result of the landowners closing access, and Mt Fernie Provincial Park is closed due to provincial orders as a result of Covid-19. Ridgemont and Castle Mountain are typically the first areas to open in the spring because of their predominantly south-southwest aspects. Mt Proctor and the local favourite, Swine Flu, along with Castle Mountain/Montane are usually right behind them, and the Ski Hill and Mt Fernie last to clear up due to their more northerly aspects, and denser forests.
