Bolter Farm & Chalet offers year-round accommodation in the heart of the Kootenays, an area celebrated for its four distinct seasons, each of which bring unique world-class recreational opportunities to our doorstep -- from world-class ski resorts (Fernie Alpine Resort) to renowned golf courses of all sizes and styles.

For guests staying a minimum of three nights we offer a welcome package of farm fresh eggs, locally home-made bread, organic butter and milk.

Guests also have the option of Pre-ordering meat for your stay. Enjoy naturally grown pork, chicken or beef born, raised and produced on our family farm.

Bolter Farm & Chalet is proud to be able to offer our neighbours, friends, restaurants and community an opportunity to buy local and eat well. We believe in transparency around the way food is grown and treated. We work the land and raise the animals ourselves. We know their history. We know the environment in which they’re naturally raised, and the challenges and the rewards of doing it the right way.

We are a first-generation farm, farming for future generations.

We are a convenient 30-minute drive (often light on traffic and heavy on scenery) to FERNIE ALPINE RESORT, known for its abundance of snow and legendary skiing and snowboarding terrain. Ski season often stretches into April.
The Trans Canada Biking Trail , only minutes from the Chalet, is just one example of the vast networks of hiking and biking trails found throughout the area. The nearby Elk Valley, Bull and Wigwam Rivers are a world-class fly-fishing mecca, while Lake Koocanusa, a short 10-minute walk from our chalet, offers some of the best swimming, fishing, boating and summer-time recreation to be found.
And if you’re into quiet mountain lakes, we can point you in that direction too. Suzanne Lake and Northstar Lake Recreation Sites are a short 15-minute drive away and offer great fishing, picnicking and swimming. While nearby Rosen Lake and Tie Lake are fun for boating! The Kootenays are also a premier destination for canoeing and kayaking, whether you’re looking for calm waters or roaring rapids.

Fall is one of the most beautiful times to vacation in the Kootenays. Colours come alive as birch trees turn gold, and hiking and biking is at its best. Cool crisp mornings greet sunny afternoons, and the hustle and bustle of summer has faded into a more relaxed pace. This is the season for good books, long walks, crowd-free fishing, and campfires.

It’s a perfect place to take the wife, the family, or escape with the guys. We welcome responsible use of all-terrain vehicles, which can be driven from the back-country directly to and from the chalet. You'll love it here.
