The FTA manages the majority of all of Fernie’s multi-use trails, and the year-round costs associated with them – from maintenance and trail building to winter grooming.
The Fernie Trails Pass is a way for locals and visitors to support and give back to the Fernie trail network. With options from day and weekend use, to annual single and family memberships, there is a way for everyone to support our trails.
Be sure to check out our merch options too – Hats, Shirts, Socks and more!
Trail Passes and Member Club memberships run a calendar year, from Jan 1st 2021 – Dec 31st.
*Purchasing a Trails Pass is Non-Mandatory, however does bring about excellent trail karma.*

Our Member Clubs sit under the umbrella that is Fernie Trails Alliance, primarily focusing on the enhancement, promotion and growth of the non-motorized, multi-use trail network.
We currently have three Member Clubs, the Fernie Mountain Bike Club , Stag Leap Running Co. and the Fernie Trails & Ski Touring Club.

Supporter Clubs also actively support the Fernie Trails Alliance, however they primarily operate on trails/areas that aren’t directly maintained by the FTA.
We currently have two Supporter Clubs, the Fernie Nordic Society and Cycling Without Age.
Who is behind the FTA? A lot of amazing, hardworking volunteers plus two staff members.
As part of our active, progressive, working board, we have a number of FTA Committees, who handle a wide range of topics from trail work to fundraising; strategic planning to communications; governance to trails maintenance and construction; HR and more…
