Whitefish Mountain Resort is lucky enough to be perched above Whitefish, Montana - a quaint, unpretentious railroad-come-ski-town that combines the best of small-town life with world-class amenities and services.

Whitefish offers a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants (from grills to gourmet), bars, coffee houses, theater, spas, live music and an energetic nightlife.

A walk down beautiful Central Avenue often leads to sharing a nice glass of red and a story with locals and visitors who are just like you: laid-back, unpretentious, and happy to be in Whitefish.
