Swiss Jungfraujoch saw over a million visitors in 2023
The railway and ski lift operator Jungfraubahn posted record profits last year after seeing a strong influx of tourists headed for the “top of Europe”.
Sales in 2023 jumped by 40.7% on the previous year to CHF195.9 million ($213.9 million), the company said in a press release on Thursday. Excursion destinations saw very strong demand and, for the first time since 2019, the Jungfraujoch – at 3,454 metres above sea level – received more than a million visitors.
At CHF79.6 million, the company meanwhile reported its highest ever profit, up by 79.4%. Operating profit (EBIT) was CHF99.6 million.
At its annual general meeting, the company’s board of directors will propose a dividend of CHF6.50 per share, compared to CHF3.60 per share in 2022.
