Lenzerheide Bergbahnen Hits New Heights in 2024/25
Lenzerheide Bergbahnen AG (LBB) has reported an exceptional 2024/25 financial year, marking another record-breaking period for the Swiss ski resort operator. The company's success was primarily driven by strong winter performance, which more than offset a challenging summer season. LBB's achievements include surpassing CHF 40 million in sales, investing over CHF 11 million in infrastructure and digital improvements, and planning an additional CHF 15 million in future developments.
The 2024/25 winter season saw a 1.3% increase in ski days, totalling 1,421,657. Arosa Lenzerheide was among the first major Swiss ski resorts to fully open before the holiday period, thanks to effective snowmaking and slope management. The season extended until April 21, benefiting from favourable weather conditions.
While the summer of 2024 fell short of expectations due to unfavourable weather, with visitor numbers dropping by 14.3% to 167,135, the robust winter performance more than compensated for this decline. The company's catering operations also achieved record results, contributing to the overall strong financial performance.LBB's significant investments included the replacement of the Stätzerträli chairlift, which proved successful from the start. Looking ahead, the company plans to invest CHF 15 million in the 2025/26 financial year, focusing on further improvements to its facilities and services.
