The Swiss mountain rail company, Jungfraubahn Holding, says it’s had its best ever start to a ski season.

Visitors from the United States, India and Southeast Asia have helped compensate from lower numbers from China and Japan.

In 2024, 1,058,600 guests visited the Jungfraujoch station connecting the Jungfrau and the Mönch mountains, a 5.1% increase from the previous year.

Jungfraubahn says visits are back to pre-pandemic levels.

“The start of the 2024/2025 winter season was the best in history,” the company says in a statement.

While visitors from the United States, India and Southeast Asia are up, the numbers from China and Japan are still about 50% behind pre-Covid 19 levels.

The Jungfrau ski region also recorded 218,500 skier visits from the start of the season on 30 November to to 31 December, also an increase of 5.1%.
