The Omnia, Zermatt

A modernist lodge on a rock above town.

Destination photo: Fora Travel

The Omnia is a modernist mountain lodge set on a rock above Zermatt, reached by a tunnel cut into the mountainside and an elevator. With just 30 rooms, it feels quiet, architectural and very private, yet the village is moments away.

Quiet and architectural, for couples who like to be above it all.

Where you’ll be

The lodge sits on a rocky outcrop above the village center, with views over the rooftops to the mountains. The station, the lifts and Zermatt's restaurants are a short walk down.

The stay

Rooms are minimalist and warm, with wood, stone and large windows framing the peaks. The outdoor whirlpool looks out to the mountains, and the restaurant is a favorite with locals and guests alike.
