Fernie Alpine Resort Fernie Alpine Resort is just five minutes from downtown Fernie. Here, local have an unofficial rule: If 20cm/8in of snow falls overnight, the nest day's meeting moves to the mountain. The resort attracts more and more newcomers each year. Condominiums and houses are rapidly being snapped up as vacation properties. The service industry at the resort and Fernie attracts young people from across Canada and the world for interested in working/skiing. However, despite continual changes, Fernie retains a friendly and laidback atmosphere.
Town of Fernie Situated about halfway up the western slope of the Crowsnest Pass and flanked by snowcapped peaks, the town of Fernie has a timeless mountain charm. The downtown core is packed with heritage buildings that have seen very few changes, except for use, in the last one hundred years. What was once a bank is now a restaurant, a house by the highway is now a sushi bar, and downtown stores that used to sell groceries and mining supplies are now filled with outdoor gear.
