Approximately 100km to Cranbrook where there are flights in from Vancouver and Calgary as well as other major air centers
The unit is a 15 minute walk to Historic Downtown Fernie where there are a wide variety of shopping and dining options. The new Fernie aquatic center is on the way to the downtown and is a great place to take the kids on the waterslide, swim laps, take a steam bath or socialize with other skiers and locals in the large hot tub.
It is a 10 minute drive to the Fernie golf course from the Chalet
The Fernie Alpine Resort ski hill is a 10 minute drive from the chalet. Alternatively a shuttle bus leaves from the bottom of the street (1/2km from the house) regularly taking skiers to the ski hill or downtown. In the summer the Chalet is close to mountain biking trails and the ski hill operates a lift service with some excellent down-hill runs.
In the summer there are a number of pristine mountain lakes within a 30 min drive of Fernie including Surveyors Lake, Tie and Rosen Lakes. The lakes are unusually warm in summer and great for swimming.
In addition the chalet is close to the Elk river and its excellent flyfishing. There are clean, warm, lake beaches with sand approximately a 40km drive away at Surveyors Lake, Tie Lake, Rosen Lake and Lake Kookanusa.
