Getting Here & Around

Plan with confidence—whether you're flying, driving, or a mix of both, getting to and around Big Sky is easier than ever.

Plane at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport

Flying to Big Sky

Big Sky is the most well-connected ski destination in the country, with direct flights from 19 unique cities and 21 airports to BZN. Bozeman now offers more flights from the Northeast than any other ski destination and arrivals before noon from all over the country for same-day skiing.

Don't forget to book ground transportation from the airport—ridesharing apps are not a reliable source of getting around in the area.

Getting Around

Big Sky offers many options for getting around town and between Big Sky and Bozeman. For the most flexibility, we recommend booking a rental car for pickup at the Bozeman Airport.

Your lodging might require a car to access if it's not in the Mountain Village, Montage, or Town Center.

If you don't want to rent a car, there are still easy ways to get around. There are many local transportation providers that can get you from Bozeman to Big Sky and beyond. In Big Sky, the Skyline Bus service offers free rides between the slopes and Town Center.

We also highly encourage finding a carpool with the GoGallatin App.
