Who owns Zermatt resort?

Zermatt isn’t owned by a big corporation, it is still an Alpine village. There are a number of families in Zermatt who own much of the town’s property and businesses. The Julens opened their first guesthouse in 1910 and have since run successful hotels, bars, farms and ski shops. Other well known Zermatt families are the Perrens and Imbodens. The lift company runs the ski lifts and your lift pass also gives access to the mountain railways.
