Big Sky Resort - Activities

Activities

Big Sky is primarily known for its winter activities, which include ski and snowboard terrain, a terrain park, cross country skiing, zipline and snowshoeing, but it has become an increasingly popular summer attraction as well. Several ziplines, paintball, archery, tennis, hiking, and mountain biking trails are available on the mountain, with golf and Horseback riding available further down by the Meadow Village, which sits at an elevation of 6,800 feet (2,100 m), between the ski area and US-191.

For the summer 2012 season Big Sky introduced summer tram rides to take visitors effortlessly to the top of 11,166 Lone Peak.

Fly fishing and whitewater rafting are popular on the Gallatin River. Lake kayaking is available at Hebgen Lake 50 miles (80 km) south. Big Sky is a convenient and comfortable base camp for excursions into nearby Yellowstone National Park.
