Perched at the base of Big Sky’s 3,530-acre Spanish Peaks enclave, Montage Big Sky has elevated the Montana town’s ski purist energy with a hearty dose of luxury. The massive property, affixed in a “mountain modern” aesthetic of neutral palettes set against rich wood, features 100 guestrooms and suites, 39 residences, high-end restaurant, Cortina, a gastropub and lobby bar and a basement rec room with a bowling alley, arcade, and indoor lap and family pool.
But the Montage isn’t just luring powder seekers hoping to ski the Big Couloir. Come spring and summer, outdoor enthusiasts can play the 18-hole Tom Weiskopf golf course, as well as hike, mountain bike, fly fish and tour nearby Yellowstone National Park with custom itineraries developed by the property itself.
