Zermatt and Homestead Resorts in Midway, Utah

The National Council is very excited about our Triennial 2015 site – Zermatt and Homestead Resorts in Midway, Utah.  These sister resorts are located 55 minutes from Salt Lake City at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in the Heber Valley.  Most meetings and events will take place at Zermatt, while Junior Daughters and International Daughters meetings will be held primarily at Homestead. Daughters can choose to stay at the Swiss-style Zermatt Resort or at the country-style Homestead Resort, a ten-minute walk across the street.  These lovely properties have comfortable guest rooms with either one King or two Queen beds.  For the benefit of the Juniors the bunkhouse at Homestead offers rooms with 2 queen size beds and a set of bunk beds. Each resort has free wireless internet, free parking, and an indoor and outdoor pool, and Daughters can take advantage of the facilities at both properties.

Like most Triennials in the past, our schedule will be full and our four days together will be busy.  Although Daughters do not have to participate in everything (you should rest when tired and do only what you are able to do), if you are like many of us, you won’t want to miss a thing!   For this reason, you may consider arriving in Midway at least a day early to rest and take advantage of this lovely location.  The hotels will honor our special room rates from June 13th through June 26th.   Some of the other recreational opportunities offered at the resorts include:  Crater Springs golf course, the mineral springs crater, tennis courts, a fitness center and the Zermatt spa (with 10% discount for our group.)  Hiking and many other outdoor activities are available a short distance away in the Heber Valley, Wasatch Mountains and Park City. 

Once you arrive at the resorts, you probably won’t find time to drive back into Salt Lake City, so if you like to shop and sight-see, you may want to consider an extra night there on arrival.  For those traveling from sea level, a night in Salt Lake City might also help you acclimate to the altitude in Midway.  Salt Lake City’s altitude is 4,327 feet, while Midway is about 1,000 feet higher at 5,584 feet (similar to altitude of Denver, CO).  This shouldn’t present a problem for most people, but please read the information on altitude in the Events section of our website.  If you decide to stay one night in Salt Lake City, there are many hotel options.  Although we know that our Triennial celebration will be the best part of your visit to Utah, we want to make sure you take advantage of everything this wonderful location has to offer!
