The Top 6 Winter Tours in Bozeman

Winter in Bozeman isn’t just a season—it’s a playground. With snow-dusted peaks, steaming hot springs, and the Yellowstone backcountry just down the road, this is where your Montana winter dreams come to life. Whether you’re chasing powder, wildlife, or a steaming soak after a day in the cold, there’s a tour here to match your style.

If you’re short on time but want the wow factor, a Half-Day Yellowstone Winter Wildlife Safari is a great pick. You’ll likely spot bison, elk, and maybe a wolf or two without committing to a full day. But suppose you’ve got the stamina (and layers).

In that case, the Full-Day Yellowstone Guided Winter Tour takes you deeper—fewer crowds, more chances for rare sightings, and plenty of photo-worthy landscapes.

For active adventurers, a Guided Cross-Country Ski or Snowshoe Tour near Hyalite Canyon offers a quieter, more personal way to explore Montana’s winter wilderness. They’re also family-friendly, with pace and distance tailored to your group.

If your ideal pace is more “hot cocoa in hand,” the Yellowstone Snowcoach Adventure or a Heated Snowmobile Tour provides front-row seats to winter beauty without the frostbite risk.

Local guides in Bozeman know the hidden trails, the best wildlife viewing spots, and when to avoid icy wind corridors. These aren’t cookie-cutter outings—our recommendations come from guides who live here, test the routes themselves, and track honest guest feedback. And some winter experiences—like Private Hot Springs Tours or Specialty Wildlife Trips—are only available through our network, not the big-name booking sites.
