Your hosts at Resort La Ginabelle

For more than 30 years, the company has been personally managed by the Abgottspon-Schell family and is therefore free from the needs of outside interest groups. The well-being of our guests is the main focus.

Thomas, born into a traditional Zermatt family, was able to learn a lot about the dynamics of Zermatt hospitality in his parents' hotel business as a child. After completing an apprenticeship as a wood sculptor in Brienz, it was not long before he fulfilled his dream of owning his own hotel. With the help of his parents, he bought his first hotel at the age of 25. Through a lot of diligence, privations, willingness to take risks and in cooperation with his growing family and the employees, two more houses have been built over time and together they form the Resort La Ginabelle today. As a councillor (executive) of the municipality of Zermatt as well as ski school director of the ski school Zermatt, he did his share in the service of the public for a total of 8 years.

Regina, who grew up in Germany in a small village surrounded by vineyards and the Neckar River, found her way to La Ginabelle when she applied for a job as a receptionist at Thomas' mother's hotel. She, however, had no more open positions at the reception and knew that her son still needed support at the reception. Regina then began working at La Ginabelle and over the years she has developed into a strong support who always has an open ear for all employees.

Matthias, the youngest son of the family, has been actively helping out at the hotel since 2019. He coordinates all digital processes and systems. Due to his training as a chef, he is a speditive addition when there are bottlenecks in the kitchen. He is currently additionally employed by HotellerieSuisse, where he works to support the hotel industry at the national level. This minimizes his presence on site. However, he is happy to represent his parents on site when they take some time off.

The Abgottspon family also includes Stephanie and Christina, who are pursuing a doctorate and studies in psychology and art, and thus have no direct influence on hotel activities. However, all the children like to come back to spend time together.

Together with our team we navigate through the rapids of the modern hotel industry and always aim to offer our guests an unforgettable vacation!
