Kandahar Lodge

Kandahar is an elegant, yet casual lodge surrounded by alpine splendor atop Big Mountain. This intimate Montana mountain inn adds romance and charm to any occasion, or solitude and relaxation to business gatherings. The quiet, comfortable surroundings of Kandahar Lodge lend special pleasure to work and play.

Kandahar, the Lodge at Big Mountain, is a bed and breakfast hotel located in the center of a recreation mecca. Step out of the front door of the Lodge to enjoy the Big Mountain Resort. It offers world-class skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Summer brings gondola rides to the Summit, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, tennis and frolf (frisbee golf). "Walk in the Trees" is a unique adventure experience that tours the trees on a canopy boardwalk.

Majestic Glacier National Park, located 24 miles east of Whitefish, is open all year. During the summertime, visitors enjoy the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road, which winds through the center of the park and over the Continental Divide, as well as camping, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, golfing, boat tours, backpack trips, and endless sight-seeing opportunities. "Winter Wonderland" takes on a new meaning in the presence of towering cedars, crystal lakes, and snow-covered mountains. While weather conditions eventually dictate the closure of some roads, many sports are available throughout the winter in Glacier. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and back country camping are permitted. Motor home and tent camping is available at Apgar, two miles inside the West entrance.

The beautiful Flathead Valley is big and broad and offers a multitude of recreational opportunities. Flathead Lake lies in the center of the valley and is the largest freshwater lake this side of the Mississippi. Flathead Lake, Whitefish Lake and several wild and scenic rivers serve as a playground for water sports enthusiasts, fishermen and white water rafters.

There are twelve golf courses in the Valley offering challenging and incredibly scenic golf. Whitefish is home to Montana's only 36 hole golf course, sections of which border Whitefish Lake.

There are national forests in every direction and city, state and county parks throughout and wilderness areas on the perimeter. Cultural amenities include several museums, art galleries and nearby Native American reservations.
