The YukonHome/Where to stay/Fernie/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Fernie
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Fernie, from ski-in lodges at the base of the mountain to a riverside resort a short stroll from downtown. It is for travellers who want mountain access and simple comfort without moving up a class.
Staying in Fernie
Fernie keeps a relaxed, unpretentious character despite its reputation as a resort town. Downtown is walkable and holds most of the shops, cafes and restaurants, the Elk River runs through the valley, and several provincial parks sit within easy reach. Above it all is Fernie Alpine Resort, known for some of the deepest snow in the Canadian Rockies, with a historic core of early 20th-century architecture below. Most cluster on and around Ski Hill Road, Highline Drive and Timberline Crescent at the resort base, where The Griz Inn, Cornerstone Lodge, Snow Creek Lodge, Lizard Creek Lodge, Polar Peak Lodges, Snow Creek Cabins and Timberline Lodges sit. Others are closer to town or the highway: Fernie Stanford Resort on Riverside Way, EasyStay Inn & Suites on Crowsnest Hwy, Park Place Lodge on Highway #3, Red Tree Lodge and Best Western Plus Fernie Mountain Lodge on 7th Avenue. Couples and skiers favour the resort addresses, families the lodges with kitchens and pools, and drivers passing through the highway properties.
