The Great Escape: Montana

Where country meets luxury

I recently went out West to Montana to my friends ranch and left feeling totally inspired and restored. The mountain-scape and scenery made for the perfect city escape. That paired with ATVing, long walks and the fresh country air had me questioning why I was coming back! I’ve rounded up a list of places inspired by my trip that I’m going to be checking out next time I head Out West.

Montage Big Sky is the luxury retreat that the charming Big Sky village was missing. Set against the majestic Spanish Peaks mountain range, this hotel is the perfect retreat for New Yorkers seeking a nature fix without compromising on luxury.

Like with any Montage Hotel, you can expect a comfortable and elegant luxury experience tied in with impeccable hospitality and memorable culinary, spa and lifestyle experiences.

The opportunities for outdoor experiences are endless. Big Sky is known to be a skiers dream with 5,800 acres of world class terrain. Even if you don’t ski, there’s numerous activities to chose from like hiking, ATVing, horseback riding, archery, kayaking etc. If you’re looking solely for R&R, Big Sky has an extensive wellness and spa program.

Regardless of when you chose to go, the natural beauty of the destination is more than enough reason visit at any time of the year. Book your stay here!
