Rocky Mountain Electric

Our pri­vate shut­tle will meet you at the Cal­gary Inter­na­tion­al Air­port and dri­ve the group to our lodge in beau­ti­ful Fer­nie, about 3.5hrs away.

Upon arrival, we encour­age you to unpack, set­tle in and rest up for the week of adven­ture ahead. The lodge will be our home base for the next few days of Fer­nie trail rid­ing. Your bikes will be await­ing ful­ly charged and ready to rock. Sea­son to taste with your own ped­als, sad­dle, or grips if you so wish. If bring­ing your own ebike, we’ll pro­vide stands, tools, and help­ing hands for any­one need­ing assistance.

Tonight, we’ll all enjoy din­ner togeth­er as we prep for an amaz­ing week of riding.

After a good night of rest, you’ll awak­en to the smell of fresh brewed cof­fee, with views of the Rock­ies to accom­pa­ny our hearty group break­fast at the lodge, cooked by your guides.

This morn­ing, we’ll have a quick rid­ers meet­ing at 9:30 am, then it’s time to hit the trails.

The fun starts imme­di­ate­ly as we start our ride straight from the ski hill and make our way to town through the old growth Provin­cial Park trails. These trails will give you a good chance to warm up for the day, and the rest of the tour.

We’ll have lunch on Main Street, then car­ry on to Mount Proc­tor, and final­ly Mount Fer­nie itself. The goal is 3 moun­tains today, 4 if we have the ener­gy remain­ing to ped­al home. The shut­tle and cool bev­er­ages will be ready when you are. Back into town for many din­ing options tonight.

Today’s trail of choice is called “Slunt” like slog and grunt had a baby. It’s not all leg burn and heavy breath­ing, as this trail ends with a 470M descent!

We’ll knock out a big’ ol morn­ing ride on the trails around Fer­nie, then enjoy lunch on main street before head­ing onwards and upwards as high as the group wish­es to go above Ridge­mont — the sky is the lim­it. We can even top up our charges at Gear Hub if the group is real­ly feel­ing like a good pedal.

You’ll know what Fer­nie is all about after 2 full days of ebik­ing here.

There’s usu­al­ly time to pop into town and cruise the strip or relax in the hot tub before we dine in one of Fernie’s excel­lent restau­rants — maybe some sushi, maybe a local pub on the main street?

After a sim­ple break­fast at the lodge, we’ll pack up for our dri­ve to our next base­camp in Inver­mere. This will be a scenic, 2.5 hour dri­ve between the Rock­ies and Pur­cell moun­tain ranges, pass­ing Colum­bia Lake — the head­wa­ters of the Colum­bia Riv­er, and stop­ping in Fair­mont Hot Springs for lunch.

We’ll then ride the mas­ter­ful­ly craft­ed Swansea trail net­work fea­tur­ing awe­some sin­gle­track climb­ing to some beau­ti­ful down­hill flow trails. After the ride, we’ll check in to our down­town Inver­mere accom­mo­da­tion. Once set­tled in, we’ll have the abil­i­ty to ride to the beach then ride to din­ner over­look­ing the lake.

After break­fast, we’ll head up to Panora­ma Moun­tain Resort.

Today we’ll see what these batteries/legs can real­ly do.  This is the biggest ride of the trip, our ulti­mate tar­get being Goldie Ridge. It’s over 1,500 meters of climb­ing to get to this point, and the reward is more than worth it, but there are some low­er options avail­able too. Expe­ri­ence breath­tak­ing 360 degree views from this ridge­line before the incred­i­ble descent back to the resort base.

Once we make it back down, we’ll enjoy drinks and grub at the Pub, then head back to Inver­mere for some big relax­ing after our big day of pedaling. 

After break­fast, we’ll squeeze in a nice morn­ing ride at Lil­lian Lake to get the blood pump­ing and some killer views over Toby Creek Canyon. Then, it’s just over an hour dri­ve to Gold­en, where we’ll enjoy lunch togeth­er at a local spot.

Now, it’s on to the infa­mous Mount 7 — named after the dis­tinc­tive “7” snow for­ma­tion that appears each spring with the melt­ing snow. Back in the day, Mount 7 host­ed the Psy­chosis Race and has long been at the heart of local down­hill rid­ing in Golden.

After the ride, we check in to our chalet where the guides will pre­pare a BBQ din­ner for everyone.

Today we have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to ride until we meet our hearts con­tent on the leg­endary Moon­rak­er trail net­work — dat­ing back to the 1980’s, these were orig­i­nal­ly Nordic ski trails that were then aban­doned and reclaimed as cross-coun­try moun­tain bike trails.

The days trail selec­tion will begin with some steep and tech­ni­cal, pro­gress­ing into smooth and flowy lines that go on for ages. We’ve got all day to pound out as many miles as possible.

This spin con­cludes on the shores of the mighty Colum­bia, with a bonus option to the White­tooth Brew­ery — home to Bel­gian and West Coast inspired beers. Go on, you earned it. Enjoy some chill time to reflect on the incred­i­ble week. Then we’ll get cleaned up and pop back into town for a qual­i­ty final din­ner at a local restaurant.

Our final morn­ing begins with a post-break­fast rip straight out the back door. Final­ly, we’ll pack up and head out for an awe­some dri­ve through Yoho and Banff Nation­al Parks, stop­ping for lunch in Can­more for some local cui­sine before head­ing the rest of the way back to Calgary.

We can drop you off at either the Cal­gary Inter­na­tion­al Air­port by 4:30 PM or at the Acclaim Hotel Cal­gary Airport.
