Living in Midway: Utah's "Little Switzerland"

Midway is arguably the most charming town in Utah. Famous for its Swiss heritage, chalet-style architecture, and the annual Swiss Days festival, it feels like a European village. Nestled at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, Midway offers hot pots (geothermal springs), golf courses, and a quiet, high-end lifestyle that is distinct from its neighbors.

The community is in the midst of a massive luxury transformation led by the **Homestead Resort**. The resort's full remodel, including a **reimagined championship golf course** and the **Main House** reopening in **Fall 2026**, is elevating the entire town's profile. However, winter fans should note that the **Ice Castles** attraction is taking a pause for the 2025-2026 winter season to adapt to future weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Midway

What are the "Ice Castles"?
Every winter, Midway typically hosts the Ice Castles, a massive frozen attraction built by hand. However, the company has announced a **hiatus for the 2025-2026 winter season** to rework their build process, so this attraction will be missed this year.
What is the Homestead Crater?
The Homestead Crater is a geothermal hot spring hidden inside a 55-foot tall limestone rock dome. It is the only place in the continental US where you can scuba dive in warm water year-round. The surrounding resort is actively being renovated for a **Fall 2026 reopening**.
Why is it called "Little Switzerland"?
The town was settled by Swiss immigrants. The town code actually encourages **Swiss chalet architectural details**, and the annual **Swiss Days festival** (held the Friday and Saturday before Labor Day) is one of Utah's most popular cultural events.
What are the new luxury housing options?
Buyers can choose from the luxury golf cottages at **The Links at the Homestead** or the new condo residences that are part of the **Autograph Collection**, which offer short-term rental flexibility and full resort access.
