Saturday at the Midway Farmers Market: A Fresh Addition to Your Zermatt Resort Itinerary

Looking for a simple, satisfying way to elevate your summer staycation? Start your Saturday at the Midway Farmers Market, then drift into an afternoon of Swiss-inspired relaxation at Zermatt Resort. You’ll savor local flavors in the morning and enjoy resort comforts—pools, hot tubs, spa time, and dining—by afternoon. This guide shows you exactly how to pair the market’s fresh finds with Zermatt’s amenities for a day that feels both unhurried and unforgettable.

Why the Midway Farmers Market Belongs in Your Weekend Plans

The Midway Farmers Market is held every Saturday from June through October at Midway Town Square, 200 West Main Street in Midway. It’s an easy way to connect with the community while discovering fresh produce and handcrafted goods from local artisans. It’s also a fun, relaxing Saturday morning activity the whole family will love—one that naturally complements an afternoon of poolside lounging or a leisurely meal back at the resort.

Farmers markets are about more than shopping. They bring you closer to the region—its growers, makers, and seasonal rhythms. When you pair that with an afternoon of effortless comfort at Zermatt Resort, you get the best of both worlds: authentic local flavor and a restorative mountain retreat.

Your Saturday Itinerary: From Market Baskets to Mountain-Side Leisure

Morning: Browse, Taste, and Connect at the Market

• Stroll vendor booths to discover seasonal fruits and vegetables, artisan crafts, and small-batch treats.
• Chat with local makers to learn how products are grown or made—great context for the items you bring back.
• Capture a few photos on Midway Town Square; the setting adds a story to everything you select.

Pro tip: Bring a reusable tote and a small cooler bag if you plan to keep produce fresh for later.

Late Morning: Slide Into Pool Time at Zermatt Resort

After the market, head back to Zermatt Resort for a restorative poolside reset. As one of the Midway Utah resorts with an outdoor pool, Zermatt makes unwinding effortless.

• Enjoy the year-round indoor/outdoor swim-through pool with indoor and outdoor decks for relaxing.
• Soak in the large indoor hot tub with a beautiful two‑storey waterfall, or star-gaze later in the outdoor hot tub.
• Look up: the indoor pool’s ceiling features a sky mosaic that changes colors throughout the evening.
• Pool hours: Daily, 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. (extended for holidays). Pool towels are provided.

Prefer a quick workout before or after your swim? The on-site Wellness Center is open every day, 6:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. with cardio and strength equipment for a balanced routine.

Lunch: Choose Your Flavor, Stay for the Vibe

• Z’s Restaurant: Simplicity done exceptionally well—think fresh-cut, USDA‑certified steaks, penne Alfredo, crusted salmon, and decadent house-made desserts crafted daily in the bakery. Seasonal cocktails and shareable starters round out an easy, celebratory lunch.
• The Lobby Lounge (21+): A laidback spot for burgers, sandwiches, and small bites—ideal for a casual afternoon meet‑up.
• The Bakery at Zermatt: Perfect for desserts, Starbucks coffee, and quick bites. Open daily for an easy grab‑and‑go or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up.
