Overview

Montage Big Sky is a refined alpine sanctuary tucked into the mountains of southwestern Montana, offering cool summer temperatures, dramatic scenery, and an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and deeply grounding.

Mid-to-late summer is prime time here. Days are warm but never hot, nights are cool and star-filled, and the pace invites couples to slow down, explore, and reconnect — whether that means shared adventures or perfectly balanced solo pursuits like golf and spa time.

  • Best time to visit: Mid-to-late summer (July through September) for perfect mountain weather and wildflower displays.
  • What to pack: Layers for variable mountain weather, golf attire, hiking gear, elegant casual wear for dining, and sunscreen for high altitude.

Where to Stay

Accommodations are spacious, elegant mountain residences featuring natural stone, warm woods, expansive windows, and private terraces overlooking forests, fairways, or distant peaks.

Many suites include fireplaces for crisp evenings, deep soaking tubs, and outdoor space ideal for morning coffee or sunset wine. The design is luxurious yet understated — made for comfort, calm, and connection rather than impressing with excess.

Golf

Montage Big Sky is home to the Spanish Peaks Mountain Club golf course, a championship Tom Weiskopf design routed through rolling alpine terrain with sweeping mountain views on every hole.

  • Wide fairways framed by pines and wildflowers
  • Elevation changes that add challenge without intimidation
  • Cool mountain air perfect for long summer rounds
  • Immaculate conditioning during peak summer season

Whether you both love to play or one heads out while the other chooses a spa morning, golf here feels immersive, peaceful, and distinctly alpine. The course rewards both power and precision while showcasing Montana's spectacular mountain scenery.

Day Spa

Spa Montage is a serene retreat inspired by the surrounding mountains and rivers. Natural light, calming textures, and thoughtful design create an atmosphere of instant relaxation.

  • Couples' treatment suites for shared rituals
  • Warm stone and deep-tissue massages ideal post-golf
  • Steam rooms and relaxation lounges for lingering afternoons
  • Seasonal wellness treatments rooted in nature

It's the perfect counterbalance to active summer days — restorative, unhurried, and deeply indulgent. The spa's mountain-inspired aesthetic and treatments create experiences that feel grounding and connected to the surrounding wilderness.

Dining

Dining at Montage Big Sky celebrates refined mountain cuisine — seasonal ingredients, elevated comfort dishes, and thoughtful wine pairings served in warm, inviting spaces.

Summer evenings are made for terrace dining, long conversations, and shared plates as the light fades across the landscape. Whether casual or elegant, meals here feel like a continuation of the day's best moments, with Montana-inspired dishes showcasing regional ingredients and flavors.
