Thinking of bringing your dog to Fernie? The mountain town is as welcoming to pets as it is to skiers and hikers, and several hotels go out of their way to accommodate four-legged guests. Expect properties with free parking, outdoor hot tubs, and easy access to trails-so your furry friend can enjoy the Rockies as much as you do. Budget-wise, you'll find pet-friendly options from roughly CAD 80 to CAD 200 per night, depending on season and room type. Staying near the Fernie Alpine Resort or along the Highway 3 corridor puts you minutes from ski hills, golf courses, and the Elk River, while hotels in the town center offer walkable access to shops and the Fernie Heritage Museum.
