Park in the gravel lot immediately south of the HWY 3 Tunnel (20 km from Fernie). Ski up the road on the south side of Tunnel Creek for 3.7 km, 485 vertical meters. On the 3rd major (180 degree) switchback turn right off the road at a drainage and climb another 1.3 kilometers and 275 meters to the Tunnel Hut. Along this route make sure you climb to the right after you have gained the steep headwall (on the attached map). You will then be climbing below the Sunnyside Slope of Tunnel Ridge and will see the Hut in an open meadow.
The hut holds 6 people, has foamies for 5, has basic cooking pots and melt water pot. There is propane heater, cook stove and lamp so your group will have to bring several 1 lb propane bottles for each night at the hut. Please do not bring dogs and take out what your bring in.
More information and bookings are at the Guides Hut on 2nd avenue in Fernie.
