3About Fernie, BC
Fernie sits in the Elk Valley off Highway 3, the main route linking it to Cranbrook to the west and Crowsnest Pass into Alberta to the east. Locals make regular runs to Sparwood (31 km) and Elkford (65 km), while Cranbrook (97 km) and its airport (104 km) cover most longer trips. EV chargers are available along Highway 3 in town. Worth knowing: downtown's brick buildings date back to a rebuild after the 1908 fire, and the valley's snowfall makes Fernie Alpine Resort a serious powder destination.
