Alpine Lodge
A Gathering of Words in Fernie
A classic large timber and stone lodge at the foot of Fernie Alpine Resort. Alpine Lodge is removed from the many distractions of a busy life, but only minutes from Fernie itself. The perfect location for workshops.
Workshop tuition is $350 (3–day) and $750 (5–day). Tuition includes workshops, breakfast and lunch each day and the Gathering dinner on Saturday evening. The Alpine Lodge has a limited number of single or shared rooms for participants at a very low cost. Other lodging is available in Fernie. Space is limited in each section to 8 to 10 participants
