How to get to Fernie Alpine Resort: by car, by air and parking

Fernie Alpine Resort sits in British Columbia, Canada, at 1052–2134 m. Getting there mostly comes down to altitude and whether you're driving or flying in — here's the practical part.

Getting to Fernie Alpine Resort by car

With 1052–2134 m of elevation, the access road often requires winter or M+S-rated tyres, and snow chains can be mandatory on heavy snow days. Check road conditions before you drive up and build in extra time for the last few kilometres of mountain road.

Getting to Fernie Alpine Resort by air

Look for flights into the international airport closest to British Columbia, Canada, then a transfer or rental car to the resort.

Parking in Fernie Alpine Resort

Most resorts have paid parking right by the lifts and free options a bit further out with a shuttle. Arriving early on busy days (weekends, holiday weeks) is the difference between parking right at the slopes or walking quite a bit further.
