The couple Roger and Bernadette Geissberger have been working in the tourism industry for over 30 years. They founded the RGB Hotels AG in 2012 in order to buy and renovate the HOTEL ZUR ALTEN GASSE***(S). Roger is partner and CEO of the Knecht Reisegruppe, nr. 4 of the Swiss travel agencies. He was also awarded as the Swiss Tourism Manager of the Year in 2014. He and his wife Bernadette have been fallen in love with the romantic Valaisan mountain village of Bellwald and bought a cottage here in 1997. In 2012, they bought the HOTEL ZUR ALTEN GASSE with its famous Gault Millau restaurant and had been renovating all rooms and the restaurant until 2016. The neighboring land, also in possession of the Geissberger’s, could have been rezoned into building land und thus, the boutique deluxe hotel THE ONYA RESORT & SPA could open its doors in the beginning of 2017. Positive experiences, that the couple could collect during all their travels in more than 1000 hotels, initiated the two to bring in many different ideas.
