Zermatt Resort, in Midway, Utah, was named after the open flat valley at the base of the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. Its name sought to draw a parallel between the breathtaking views of Switzerland and the awe-inspiring valley of Midway, Utah, which lies at the base of the 13,000 foot high Wasatch mountain range.

In 1863, Simon Schneitter emigrated with his family from Switzerland to the United States. When they arrived in Midway, Utah, they were heartened to discover that its landscape was reminiscent of their native Switzerland. In 1866, Schneitter discovered a "Hot Pot" (hot springs) in the area, and decided to open a hotel around the therapeutic spring. For 67 years, their property thrived.

Dr. Robert L. Fuller's commitment to European authenticity is apparent throughout Zermatt Resort. Many of its main features, such as the beautiful 20-foot-high lobby fireplace with Swiss Canton crests and German wood carvings, were created and carved in Oberammergau, Germany. Along with its Austrian chandelier, Swiss stained glass and French marquetrie, Zermatt Resort is an artistic showplace of its heritage.

This attention to detail is carried through into the Midway, Utah resort's guest rooms, which feature touches such as polished hardwood mantelpieces, luxurious linens, embroidered quilts, slate floors, and more. Most accommodations at Zermatt Resort are located in either the Hotel der Baer, which features guest rooms and suites; or the Chateau Villas, which is comprised of one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums. Our resort also features three-bedroom townhomes in The Villages at Zermatt, and extended-stay villa condominium options.
