Take Flight This Winter with Montage Big Sky’s New Helicopter Tours

Yellowstone National Park spans over 2.2 million acres, making it impossible to explore in just one trip on ground level. One of the country’s national treasures full of wildlife, dramatic canyons, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful, can now be explored from new heights with Montage Big Sky’s newly unveiled helicopter tours.

Just an hour from Yellowstone National Park lies the remote and refined mountain retreat, the first luxury five-star property in the region, situated in the Spanish Peaks enclave. An adventure-lovers and outdoor-enthusiasts’ dream, the luxury mountain gateway to Yellowstone offers unparalleled ski-in/ski-out access in the winter, legendary fly fishing, mountain biking and horseback riding, and now year-round helicopter tours of the region’s vast wilds of remote areas.

Montage Big Sky is offering three exclusive helicopter excursions, accompanied by seasoned guides to help travelers experience Montana’s splendor from the sky, and explore and learn about the region’s diverse wildlife landscape:

Sunrise or Sunset Champagne Toast Wildlife Tour – Soar over the beautiful valleys and mountainous terrain through the cascade of orange and yellow skies and spot moose, bears, and elk in their natural habitat, with a glass of bubbly in hand.

Yellowstone National Park Hydrothermal Features Photo Safari – Explore over 10,000 hydrothermal features and fly through the sky for a unique bird’s eye view of the nation’s first National Park. Snap pictures from above of the glowing features of Grand Prismatic and Old Faithful, guided by an expert pilot for an intimate experience without the crowds.

Teton National Park Photo Tour – Explore two National Parks in one day and glide over one of the most beautiful and picturesque mountain ranges in the country, dotted with lakes and valleys. On this excursion, guests will enjoy the vast views of Yellowstone, as well as Teton National Park, which lies just 10 miles to the south, and is also a must-see destination. *two hour minimum

All helicopter tours include roundtrip transportation, and complimentary champagne and snacks. Helicopter tours start at $7,500 an hour, with a one hour minimum, as well as the option to create-your-own helicopter tour.
