Whitefish

Whitefish, Montana, sits at the base of Big Mountain—home to Whitefish Mountain Resort—and is Big Sky Country’s quintessential mountain town. This year-round destination on the shores of Whitefish Lake anchors Montana’s picture-perfect Flathead Valley just under 30 miles from Glacier National Park. Whitefish’s idyllic downtown nods to the Old West, but offers modern amenities and the robust services production companies seek, plus shops, coffeehouses, restaurants, breweries and distilleries. You’ll also find convenient lake, federal and state public land access and multiple guest ranch locations for the perfect western mountain scene.
