New for Summer 2024 – Introducing the Elk Grove Forest Playground!

Phase 1 of construction for our new Elk Grove Forest Playground is well underway.

Located among a beautiful shady tree island at the top of the Elk Chair, this forest playground is a great place for kids to explore and play.

The Elk Grove will be a vibrant addition to the other summer activities that guests can access via the Elk Chair. Families can embark on a day of adventure, starting their visit with a ride up the Elk Chairlift and exploring the Elk Grove Forest Playground and Nature Bob’s Interpretive Centre.

Enjoy a family-friendly hike, passing by an observation deck with spectacular views and educational interpretive signs. Then, return to the Bear’s Den to enjoy refreshing beverages, snacks, and everyone’s favourite – ice cream!

Features of the new Elk Grove Forest Playground include:

• Pirate Ship
• Bridges
• Slide
• Chairlift Swings
• Cargo Climbing Net
• Sandbox
• Paths winding through the forest connecting all of the play features
• Picnic Area

Phase 1 of the Playground will be complete for Opening Day on Saturday, June 22nd. Plans for future phases are in development and will include more fun and creative play structures.

All Fernie Alpine Resort summer lift tickets and season passes include access to the Elk Grove Forest Playground. Children must be supervised by their responsible parent/adult.
