On Friday, 19th June 2026, the 64th Annual General Meeting of Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. took place in Mürren. 261 shareholders attended the meeting. Following a record year in 2025, Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. is also performing very well in the current financial year.
The 2025 financial year for Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. was marked by a strong recovery. Despite the closure of the Schilthorn summit until mid-March 2025, all business divisions benefited from a significant increase in visitor numbers and ended the year with a profit.
On 2nd April 2026, the final cable car in the SCHILTHORNBAHN 20XX project came into service between Birg and the Schilthorn. Around 200 guests attended the midday celebrations at the Schilthorn. Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. used this special occasion to launch its new brand identity at the same time.
This year's International Inferno Race in Mürren was cancelled due to a fatal medical incident. The rankings of the previous riders will be counted. The winners' podiums for both women and men are firmly in the hands of the Bernese Oberland.
Following a tragic medical incident resulting in death, the Organising Committee of the International Inferno Race, together with the race management, has decided to cancel the downhill race. The evening celebrations at the Alpine Sports Centre in Mürren will take place in a modified format. We thank you for your understanding.
