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.*
