No matter where a day in Big Sky country takes you, we invite your family to end the day together by gathering around the fire for mountain memories. Our nightly s’mores program is a Montage Big Sky specialty, where children and adults alike gaze up at the stars while enjoying well-earned sweet treats.
With our shared commitment to providing guests with exceptional service, we are proud to feature UPPAbaby® as the official Stroller and Playard Partner. Guests can reserve a complimentary Remi™ Playard, Minu™ V2 Travel Stroller or Ridge® Jogging Stroller with the Stay & Stroll Program, so the children can rest or play throughout their stay.
Young guests can elevate each of their Big Sky adventures during their stay with our interactive Montage Merits program. Children will earn a variety of different badges for taking part in the region’s signature experiences, along with a special pin commemorating their visit after earning each badge.
Families staying at Montage Big Sky can gather for nature-inspired activities year-round, such as family yoga, guided nature hikes and fly-casting lessons, as well as endless adventure at Big Sky Resort and Yellowstone National Park. Nightly s’mores around the fire pit are a Montage specialty in every season. For a change of pace, take family night indoors and bond over darts, bowling and arcade games at Beartooth Pub & Rec.
