Ski Hill
If your 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.
