Historic Downtown – yours to explore.
The heart and soul of Fernie is the camaraderie and goodwill of a shared experience. Naturally understated but essentially gregarious, Fernie is small-town charming and big-resort energetic.
Stroll the wide boulevards of Historic Downtown Fernie and discover an eclectic collection of boutiques, galleries, creative dining options and attractions. Pick up a hearty bagel or locally roasted coffee before a morning bike ride, or relax on a streetside patio for lunch or a post hike beverage. Gourmet gifts, delicacies and local arts and crafts can be found in a charming range of stores, while gear shops will kit you out with all the service, advice and essentials for your outdoor adventures. Extended patio space and take-out options are available at many locations. 7th Avenue offers more welcoming restaurants and the newest addition to the shopping scene: Cannabis culture at Earth’ s Own Naturals. Before enjoying the scenic riverside community trails, drop by Alpine Springs on 10th Avenue for the refreshing taste of locally brewed kombucha to go.
Picturesque heritage buildings house everything from The Fernie Arts Station, Museum and Library, where you can find creative and interpretive options to beat the summer heat or the occasional downpour, to local bars and restaurants offering up local Fernie Brewing Company beers and handcrafted pub food. Events will be reduced due to COVID-19. See calendars for details as the summer unfolds.
Explore downtown and surrounding areas with self-guided walks, pick up brochures at the Fernie Museum or the Visitor Centre on Hwy # 3.
