Experience the serene beauty of Ousel Falls in Big Sky, Montana, with this immersive 36-minute virtual Snowy virtual walking tour Montana. It’s on of the best winter hikes near Big Sky Resort. I Filmed this winter hike to Ousel Falls Big Sky in winter, the trail is blanketed in snow, with icy patches adding to the peaceful, frosty atmosphere. This binaural audio recording captures the natural sounds of crunching snow, rushing water, and winter wildlife, making you feel like you’re really there—no narration, just pure nature.

Ousel Falls is a hidden gem in the Rockies, offering stunning winter scenery. The falls are named after the American Dipper (also called the Water Ouzel), a unique bird that thrives in cold mountain streams. Watch for these resilient birds diving underwater for insects, even in freezing temperatures!

If you go in person, be careuful. Ousel Falls trail in winter conditions can be very icy and slippery. I wish I’d had yak trax or other spiked shoe options.
