Bragg Creek is a quintessential hamlet tucked in the forest on the edge of towering mountains west of Calgary along The Cowboy Trail. The meandering Elbow River, a stream with inviting rocky shores, and plenty of deer give the hamlet that rustic woodsy feel. The local community is proud of what it offers - peaceful living away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Despite temptations for commercial exploitation, the people of Bragg Creek have maintained the celebration of country living, communion with nature and an offering of quality arts, crafts, and food artisans. Stroll down Bragg Creek streets and take your time. It is yours to discover.

The Heart Cafe is nestled amongst the evergreens across the street from the hamlet’s commercial core. It offers top quality coffee and tea, and fresh baking created on location with healthy ingredients. In 1965, this cabin was the home of the Merryfield family. Today, the family-run cafe and the associated Yoga Studio’s mission, is to be a place for respite

Korner Kitchen is one of the newer family restaurants in town. Unassuming yet well-rooted in the community, the ‘Kitchen’s’ owner Sean Birgit offers delicious pizzas as well as hearty German and English inspired cuisine. The restaurant is located on the “sunny side” of the mall. That is where you must stop for a solid meal and pint of craft beer after a day playing in Kananaskis Country.

is hidden off White Avenue, also known as “Heritage Mile”, on Burntall Street. There, amongst the spruce trees, the glass studio has operated for 38 years and the shop for 23 years.

This inviting cluster of buildings has created a sanctuary for arts and crafts. At its heart is Elizabeth Hertz, a well-known stained glass artist. Her partner Rod, oversees the boutique filled with a treasure trove of antiques, jewellry, stained glass and clothing. Be sure to check them out.

Scoops and Snacks is the town’s “cherry on the sundae.” A refreshing summer treat located in a small, somewhat tired yet charming old, log cabin half way down White Avenue. It boasts as many as 50 flavours of ice cream, yogurt or sherbet and, on those warm days, you can expect a bit of a line up. Check them out on Facebook for more information.
