Ever wish
for a place where the tallest structures were the trees and local wildlife
still outnumbered local human life? Look no farther than Whitefish, Montana.
Whitefish
nestles at the northern edge of the Flathead Valley, close to Glacier National
Park and is roughly 60 miles from the Canadian border. Whitefish is an island
of culture in an ocean of mountain recreation and provides the unique
opportunity to spend your days surrounded by nature on the ski slopes, hitting
the trail, or the lake, not to mention world class golfing. Evenings can be
spent downtown mingling in the many gourmet restaurants, western bars enjoying
live music or at the theatre. The people of Whitefish are genuinely friendly
and down to earth and the town's low-key atmosphere tends to make this
tight-knit community a happy, warm place to live and visit.
Whitefish
Mountain Resort, located on Big Mountain, offers year round activities; in the
summer enjoy mountain biking, hiking and “walk
in the treetops” (guided 60ft high tours in the trees) and in the winter
ski, snowmobile, cross-country ski, take a dog sled adventure or a sleigh ride.
The village area of the resort includes lodging, restaurants, retail and
nightlife. If you stay in town, getting to Whitefish Mountain Resort is easy, just
hop on the free Snow bus, which shuttles between Whitefish and Whitefish
Mountain Resort during the winter months.
