Fabienne Anthamatten
«[Sustainability] is a matter of attitude, a matter of the heart that has been rooted in us for years. We are very grateful for that!»
Fabienne Anthamatten is the third generation to manage the family-run Hotel Bella Vista Zermatt. Sustainability has always played a major role in the family and the hotel business. The hotel manager still remembers well how her parents had always admonished her to avoid waste and to separate the waste that was generated. Another vivid memory: she and her two sisters used to help pick berries in the garden to make jam.
Appreciation for all that nature gives and sustainability were simply ingrained in Fabienne Anthamatten. She is also on the board of the Zermatt Hoteliers’ Association, where she also promotes a sustainable mindset. In doing so, she is not afraid to question long-established traditions. In her private life, the nature-loving hotel manager spends a lot of time in the Zermatt Alps. A true child of the mountains. Once a year, she and her family make a trip to the Gorner Glacier to measure how far it has receded. This sight motivates her year after year to do everything she can to preserve nature as much as possible.
