As in the previous year, the Jungfrau Railway Group broke the million mark in 2024. The mountain railway company also transported more guests to the Jungfraujoch than before the coronavirus pandemic. The new winter season also got off to a good start.

A total of 1.06 million guests were transported to the Jungfraujoch last year, as the company announced on Friday. This is 5.1 percent more than in the previous year.

The 2019 figure - the last before the coronavirus pandemic - was also exceeded by a wafer-thin 0.2 percent. The First and Harder cable cars and the Lauterbrunnen-Mürren mountain railroad set new records for the so-called "adventure mountains".

Record start to the winter season

According to the company, the start to the 2024/25 winter season was "the best in history". The season started on November 30 and winter sports operations have been open continuously since December 14.

By the end of 2024, the Jungfrau Ski Region had recorded 218,500 "skier visits" or first-time visitors. This exceeded the record figure from the previous year by 5.1%.

The Jungfrau Railway Group will publish its revenue and profit figures for the 2024 financial year on April 3, 2025.
