Excellent Summer Season For Schilthornbahn AG
The Schilthornbahn AG has a very positive summer balance sheet: Compared to the previous year, sales in all business areas increased significantly and are now at the record level of the pre-pandemic years. The values are only lower for the frequencies.
The Schilthornbahn AG can look back on a very successful summer: Revenue increased by 3.2 percent compared to the record year 2017. It's a whopping 80 percent more than last year. In terms of frequencies, the values are slightly lower at 66 percent compared to the previous year. This higher per capita yield is due to the fact that there are still only a few large groups. There were no guests from China, which has a large group, due to the restricted travel regulations. Instead, the picture was dominated by individual travelers and small groups. The company can look back on very strong visitor numbers from the USA, Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Thailand, and Europe.
More sales also in the catering trade
The figures are also positive in gastronomy: In the 360° restaurant Piz Gloria on the Schilthorn, sales have increased by a factor of one and a half compared to the previous year. The record summer of 2019, on the other hand, was not broken. Here, too, the lack of large groups could not be compensated for by individual travelers. Only on the Allmendhubel was the record summer of 2021 once again clearly exceeded with a plus of 40.8 percent. Families in particular enjoyed the restaurant in combination with fun and games on the adventure playground and a hike. The expansion of the terrace will further improve the situation for guests and employees in the future. The frequencies of the Allmendhubelbahn shine in the pull of the restaurant with comparable growth.
Consumers in the shops
The shops are also back on the pre-pandemic course. They are recording almost 30 percent more sales than in 2021. Guests from abroad, especially from the USA, were extremely keen to spend and frequented the shops heavily.
Hotel industry at pre-pandemic level
Under the new management of Claudio Trovato, the Hotel Blumental has revived. As in the Hotel Alpenruh, the numbers could be kept at the level before the pandemic.
Outlook for the start of the winter season
After summer is before winter: Thanks to snow farming, the season can start on Saturday, November 5, 2022. A week later the VSNZ Day Dance Season launch party takes place on Birg.
