Winters in West Glacier

Flashback to December 2010......there were piles of snow stacked all around the Belton, creating that hushed, peaceful silence that only winter can bring.

A year later and it seems Ullr, the God of Winter, did NOT get the message!  We had a short blast of winter early in November making us think we were in for the long haul.  And then he retreated, fall made a reappearance with crisp mornings and warm afternoons. 

Alas, his alarm has gone off.... inches of the pristine, white, fluffy stuff has settled around the beautiful Belton buildings.  Winter has arrived, let the fun begin!

Make a Plan!

The blanket of winter snow makes our thoughts turn to all the popular and exciting winter activities available in the West Glacier area.  Glacier National park is OPEN and has established reduced winter entrance fees.  They are $15 for vehicles and $10 for single entrants for a seven day pass though April 30, 2012. 

The road is maintained up to Lake McDonald during the winter.  Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are very popular activites on closed roads and trials available for access in the park.  Free, park ranger-led snowshoeing walks begin in January from the Apgar Visitor Center on Saturdays, and Sundays, 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM.  Snowshoes can be rented for a minimal fee.

Our Lewis and Clark Cottages are available for rent all year round. 
The winter rates are greatly reduced, which makes a warm and cozy stay after a day of snowshoeing, skiing, or snowmobiling affordable and inviting.  Imagine an itinerary like this:

  • Friday night check in to Belton's Lewis or Clark Cottage ~
  • Dinner and Taproom trivia in the restaurant~
  • A day of cross country skiing on the trails in the park, or snowmobiling with Swan Mountain Outfitters, or taking a free, guided snowshoe tour in the park~
  • Arriving back at the Belton for a fine dining experience in the Grill Dining room and enjoying an evening of live music in the Taproom~
  • Before heading home on sunday, stop in the restaurant and enjoy the scrumptious Sunday Brunch ~

Call to make this itinerary your own!  888-5000

Join The Fun!

New this winter is Friday night Taproom Trivia.  Put on your thinking cap and bring your friends out for some trivia fun, and happy hour specials.  The person or team who answers the  most questions correctly out of 15 wins the prize.....always something good from the Belton! 

Taproom and Dining room hours are 3 - 8pm, Friday and Saturday nights and 10am - 2pm for our wonderful Sunday Brunch.

Saturday nights feature live music in the Taproom with a variety of local and regional musicans playing familiar and original selections of blues, jazz, folk, and americana. To check out the music line up go to our web page @ http://www.beltonchalet.com

Check out the new Winter menu and Sunday Brunch Menu  Chef Melissa has created.  The Sunday Brunch is unique and speical not only because the food is so tasty, but because it is only offered during our Winter season. She makes each meal to order using only the freshest ingredients available locally and or regionally.  Once you experience brunch the first time...you will keep coming back to try each item on the menu!  I can't think of a better way to spend a winter evening, or to enjoy a relaxing Sunday outing than meeting your friends and sharing an excellent meal in our dining room or relaxing by the fire in the Taproom.
