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 membership subscriptions, there is a way for everyone to support our trails. Be sure to check out our merch options too!
Welcome to the
FERNIE TRAILS ALLIANCE
The FTA is an alliance representing all trail users in Fernie, BC. As a registered Charity, we work directly with member clubs, outdoor recreation groups and landowners in order to maintain and enhance Fernie’s vibrant trail using community.
The Fernie Trails Alliance acknowledges that the land on which we gather is within the Ktunaxa ?amaki? and the homeland of the Ktunaxa people. We are grateful for the use of the trails and appreciate this homeland.Join Us
