Fernie Alpine Resort will be operating the Elk Chairlift for sightseeing, hiking and mountain biking for the 2023 summer season.

Summer Chairlift Hours of Operation
(Jun. 24 - Sept. 4, 2023)

Click here for summer Elk Chair Hours of Operation.

After a scenic ride up the Elk Chair, take a leisurely hike on the Boom Trail, visit the Lizard Bowl Observation Deck, or check out the fossils on Skeleton Flats. In addition to the breathtaking mountain scenery, you'll see our native trees & alpine wildflowers, and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some of our local wildlife. On your wanders, be on the lookout for our "FAR Out Views" signs - these are located in great photo op spots, so take a photo, post it on your social media and tag us with our tagline - #lovefernie.

Guests then have the option to return to the top of the Elk Chairlift for a scenic ride back down the mountain or hike one of our on-mountain trails to the base area.
