The Qanuk Fernie — Edmonton

Edmonton is a beautiful place, but even if you live on a gorgeous plot of property near the Saskatchewan River, there are still times when you need to escape the hustle-and-bustle lifestyle of the city. When you feel like getting away from it all, pack a week’s worth of clothes, a bathing suit, and aim your car down Highway 2 until you land at The Qanuk Lodge in the Fernie Alpine Resort, British Columbia.

Our ski resort and mountain lodge near Edmonton is your paradise away from home. If you’re staying during the winter, you can enjoy fresh powder the minute you’re ready with our ski-in, ski-out access. Known throughout the world, the Lizard Range from November to April offers some of the best powder and terrain in all of Canada. With more than 142 runs, you can downhill or cross-country ski for a whole week and never cross the same trail. In the evenings, you can retreat to our cozy resort that features an array of modern amenities. Challenge your friends and family to games of foosball, pool, or darts in a 111-square-meter recreation basement, or relax with a glass of wine in the hot tub on the adjoining deck.

Your entire suite includes:

• Master suite with a queen bed
• Bedroom with two twin beds
• Bedroom with a bunk bed

Our ski resort and mountain lodge near Edmonton is open all year long, because no matter the season, there is always something to do here in our own “Shangri La” in the Canadian Rockies.

Or enjoy mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, fly fishing, alpine hikes, leisurely afternoons of golf at the feet of the mountains, and just simple peace and quiet.

If you leave by 7:00 in the morning, you’ll be here by 1:00 p.m., just in time to catch lunch at any one of many savory restaurants in the historic mountain town of Fernie. Then, for the rest of the week (or longer!), you can fill your soul with adventures, fine food, and alpine vistas that take your breath away. Book your family vacation from Edmonton today. Our ski resort and mountain lodge is here when you need a break from the city.
