Set within the Spanish Peaks enclave, Montage Big Sky is one of the most luxurious alpine retreats in Montana. Now, guests can soak up the picturesque surroundings from above, with the hotel’s exclusive new helicopter excursions.
The property, which is less than an hour’s drive from Yellowstone National Park, has established itself as a popular spot for adventure lovers. With its ski-in/ski-out access in the winter and close proximity to a network of trails for mountain biking and horseback riding, its location is among the very best.
Traversing this rugged landscape on ground level, however, can feel overwhelming. That’s where Montage Big Sky’s helicopter tours come in; the hotel has introduced three unique excursions to help guests explore in style with an expert guide.

The first expedition is a sunrise or sunset champagne wildlife tour taking guests on an unforgettable trip above the mountains to spot elk, moose and bears with a glass of fizz in hand.
Those eager to see Yellowstone in all its glory can also opt for the second helicopter tour which takes an intimate group of guests on an excursion over the national park to get a birds-eye view of its hydrothermal features and take pictures of the wildlife below.
Finally, for those hoping to cram as much as possible into one trip, the Teton National Park Photo Tour takes guests on a flight over two breathtaking national parks – Teton and Yellowstone – on an all-encompassing two-hour trip.
Perhaps most exciting of all is the opportunity to work with the team at Montage Big Sky to craft your own helicopter tour and tick off any must-visit locations in the area. And, if you prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground, the resort’s dedicated mountain outfitter, Compass Sports, is on hand to curate hikes, bike rides and other adventures for the entire family.
All helicopter tours include roundtrip transportation and complimentary champagne. Helicopter tours start at $7,500 an hour, one-hour minimum excursion.
