Launched in the summer of 2016, FBC’s Trail to Ale Challenge is a popular and fun, mountain and beer-filled Fernie adventure. And, while a tough day on the trails awaits, the views, glory and cold beer is worth every stroke or step.

The Challenge consists of bagging three peaks, on bike or foot in any order, within a 24hr period. Open to bikers, runners or hikers, you have to get to the top of Hyperventilation, Project 9 and Swine Flu, within the 24hr time limit.

Of course you have to ‘prove it’ with timestamped selfies, so be sure to snap a shot when you start, then at the 3 Trail to Ale on-trail signs, as well as at the Brewery upon finishing. Once the 5 pieces of photographic evidence has been shared with the Tasting Room team, you will be rewarded with a cold beer and a #TrailToAleFernie2021 sticker.

The purchase of (more) salty nuts, is optional.

• There’s no charge to take part, but we ask all participants to purchase their Fernie Trails Pass, from the Fernie Trails Alliance – for the safety of both the participant and landowners – via the link below.
• Please follow the Fernie Trails Alliance COVID Trail Etiquette. Avoid taking on in a large group, or adventuring outwith your skill level.
• The 3 peaks can be accomplished in any order, but challengers must bike or run the whole way, from start to finish – if hiking, you are allowed to drive to the trail heads.
• Your 5 photos need to be timestamped – this includes the 3 peaks + start + finish – include all Challengers, and all the Trail to Ale signs.

• Once you’ve finished at the Brewery, show your 5 time stamped photos to our Tasting Room team, and you will be rewarded with a beer and a #TrailToAleFernie2021 sticker!
