The Swiss cable car industry experienced a ‘cautiously positive’ summer, despite a 7% drop in guest numbers compared to last year, largely due to unstable weather. However, visitors increased by 5% compared to the five-year average. Domestic-focused cable cars faced an 11% decline, while those attracting international guests reported only a 2% decrease. The only regional exception was the Ticino cable cars, which saw an uptick in visitors. Industry leaders highlight the growing impact of weather variability on operations, indicating the need for flexible seasonal strategies moving forward.
