Setting & Access
Montage Big Sky sits in the Spanish Peaks, pairing a true mountainside setting with polished comforts. The location brings direct ski-in/ski-out access to Big Sky Resort, with the Lewis & Clark chairlift just a short walk from the front door, and places guests within an easy drive of Yellowstone National Park. The result is a base that lets you move seamlessly between high-alpine adventure and quiet, fireside downtime.
On the mountain, the experience ranges from groomed cruisers to expert bowls on Lone Mountain. The new Lone Peak Tram carries riders to expansive 360-degree views and challenging terrain, while modern lifts such as Ramcharger 8 speed laps on Andesite. Off slope, trailheads, rivers, and ridgelines define summer, with hiking, biking, and fly fishing all close at hand.
Rooms & Residences
Guestspaces lean into a natural palette—stone, timber, and wool—tempered by modern details. Many accommodations add fireplaces, furnished balconies, and marble baths with separate soaking tubs and walk-in showers, creating an easy rhythm between the outdoors and a cocooned interior. Standard rooms feel generous, while studios and suites add seating areas and, in select categories, balconies framing the Spanish Peaks.
Families and groups gravitate to the residences, where you’ll find full kitchens, dining space, washers and dryers, and multiple bedrooms. Layouts vary—from two-bedroom configurations to large multi-level mountain homes—yet all share the advantages of a private retreat tied directly to the resort’s services. Ski lockers, gear storage, and the option to spread out make longer stays feel effortless.
Dining & Après
Dining spans casual to refined without leaving the property. Signature restaurant Cortina offers Northern Italian cooking with a Montana larder—think handmade pastas, wood-fired flavors, and a considered wine list. For day-to-night gathering, Alpenglow serves crafted cocktails and shareable plates beside picture windows that catch the rosy evening light the bar is named for.
Families and groups inevitably end up at Beartooth Pub & Rec, where bowling lanes, vintage arcade games, and hearty comfort dishes keep the energy high. If you prefer quick fuel, Wildflower Market covers coffee, pastries, picnic kits, and provisions. Slope-side, Backcast Bar & Grill anchors après with an outdoor terrace in winter and easygoing poolside service when the snow melts.
Wellness & Facilities
Spa Montage spans more than 11,000 square feet and reads as a mountain sanctuary: 12 treatment rooms, relaxation lounges, steam rooms, and heated plunge pools orbit a tranquil indoor pool. The fitness studio adds serious equipment for strength and cardio sessions, while complimentary wellness classes appear on rotating schedules.
Beyond the spa, the resort’s indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, and broad terraces encourage lingering between outings. Evenings tend to end around the fire with s’mores, or downstairs where friendly competition continues over darts and bowling. For private gatherings, the Rivalry Room brings an intimate lounge vibe with golf simulators and screens for the day’s highlights.
Mountain & Year-Round Activities
The on-site outfitter Compass Sports streamlines everything from rentals and lift tickets to guided outings, so your boots, boards, and plans are ready when you are. In winter, this means quick transitions to the lifts and options beyond alpine skiing—snowshoeing, cross-country trails, and scenic tram rides. As the seasons turn, the focus shifts to fly casting clinics, archery, trail exploration, and wildlife-rich excursions in Yellowstone.
What stands out is the balance: the mountain’s scale and advanced infrastructure deliver elbow room and efficient lift access, while this property layers in warm service, smart amenities, and spaces designed for both momentum and rest.
Verdict
As a polished alpine base, Montage Big Sky excels at translating the drama of the Spanish Peaks into a comfortable, contemporary stay. Couples will appreciate the quiet of fireplace suites and the restorative pull of Spa Montage. Families benefit from residences with kitchens and the built-in fun of Beartooth Pub & Rec. Dedicated skiers and riders find fast access to Lone Mountain’s marquee terrain, while summer travelers unlock a network of trails and rivers. For those seeking one address that handles logistics gracefully and elevates the off-slope hours, Montage Big Sky fits the brief.
