On Friday, 20th June 2025, the 63rd Annual General Meeting of Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. took place in Mürren. 266 shareholders attended the meeting. The company looks back on a challenging year in 2024. In particular, the closure of the Schilthorn summit from October due to construction work had a significant impact on the figures.
The Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. can look back on an unusual financial year. The closure of the Schilthorn summit from mid-October had a significant impact on the cable car's figures, and on sales in the restaurants and shops, after a pleasing summer business. The opening of the world's steepest cable car and Switzerland's first Funifor cable car in mid-December were among the major milestones in 2024
On Saturday, 15th March 2025, the Schilthorn - Piz Gloria will open again after being inaccessible for five months. The first track of the two new Funifor cable cars will start operating and the 360° restaurant and the Top Shop will also open again. Construction work will continue in parallel with guest operations. The major project will be completed in spring 2026.
The 81st International Inferno Races 2025 in Mürren are history: a Bernese Oberland triple victory was thwarted in both the men's and women's downhill races. Kilian Burri from Boltigen and Tanja Brawand from Grindelwald both came out on top. However, the race was clearly dominated by the warm temperatures, which simply made it impossible to win with a high start number.
A warm breeze was alread
Since mid-October, the Schilthorn summit has not been accessible from Birg due to the construction of the new aerial cableway. The closure is directly reflected in the frequency and the turnover. Several catering establishments, the hotels industry and winter sports, on the other hand, paint a positive picture. Highlights of the past year were the opening of two new cableways.
Today, Saturday, 14th December 2024, the time has come: the world's steepest cable car starts operating. The new direct connection between Stechelberg and Mürren was officially opened the day before as part of a VIP opening ceremony. At the same time, the first section of the cable car between Mürren and Birg will go into operation.
The 81st International Inferno Races will take place in Mürren from 22nd to 25th of January 2025. In this edition, the start will exceptionally not be on the Kleine Schilthorn. Online registration is still open until 15th September 2024.
