filter_dramaGet aroundFernie has no public transport system. Fortunately everything in the town is within walking distance.
There are a few options for getting from town to the resort and vise versa.
* Kootenay Taxi [url=http://www.kootenaytaxi.com/SkiShuttle.htm]]run large purple busses up and down every hour (every half hour in the morning). Check the website for schedules. The bus passes most major hostels and condos in town. The trip costs $3 each way. There are racks on the outside of the bus for skis and snowboards.
* A free shuttle [http://www.ourfernie.com/files/Shuttle%20Schedule.pdf[/url] runs on evenings during peak season. The bus is useful for visiting bars and clubs downtown if you are staying on the mountain. The shuttle runs every hour from 6pm until 11pm (2am on Friday and Saturday nights), excluding 8pm.
* Hitchiking is an accepted way to get to and from the resort. Getting a ride is usually very easy. For trips up the mountain, wait at the metal post known as the 'hitching post' on the highway past the bridge to West Fernie. For trips down, wait at the intersection below the resort centre. Police are fine with hitching from these areas but dislike people hitching within city limits. -

filter_dramaHikingSki Hill - If you're looking for something relatively easy and close to town, hike up to the top of the ski hill. Nice view of the town from the top.
Island Lake Lodge - There is a large network of trails up by Island Lake Lodge. This includes walking through an old growth cedar forest. There are trail maps on virtual fernie.
Mt. Fisher - The tallest peak in the Kootenay Range at 9500' or close to 2900m. Although technically in Cranbrook it's only an hour drive from Fernie. It's a great Hike. The top part is bit of a scramble, it's recommended only for experienced hikers only. -
