CAMPING

British Columbia is a land of outdoor lovers, and Fernie is the ultimate microcosm of this larger provincial trait.

Higher-intensity sports like cat skiing and mountain biking are part of the DNA of this town, but for those of us who prefer a slower, more laid back experience in the wilderness, camping is one of the best possible options. What could be better than waking up with the sun to the sounds of birds chirping, and the rustle of the sleeping bag and zip of the tent flap before the familiar smell of the fire and sure signs of the bountiful breakfast to come? If that’s an experience you resonate with, or one you would like to try, then you’re in luck: there are many places around Fernie and the surrounding area to pitch a tent, sit around a fire, and bond with friends and loved ones.
