Grouse Mountain Lodge

Grouse Mountain Lodge sits in Whitefish, the small Montana city that serves as gateway to both Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain Resort — two of the most spectacular outdoor destinations in the continental United States. The lodge's spa sauna and pool facilities serve the year-round outdoor community that Whitefish has built: skiers in winter, hikers and lake swimmers in summer, with Glacier's Going-to-the-Sun Road accessible from mid-June. The concentration of Nordic influence in Whitefish — through Scandinavian-heritage settlers and the European ski culture that developed the mountain — gives the sauna here a genuine cultural context beyond resort amenity.
