Your hosts at Resort La Ginabelle

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, looks after the social media channels and is always on hand with his camera when beautiful moments need to be captured. Due to his training as a chef, he is a speditive addition when there are bottlenecks in the kitchen. He is currently studying business administration at the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, which 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!
