Jungfraubahn Group reports profit decline amid geopolitical tensions
The Jungfraubahn Group reported a significant decline in revenue and profit for the first half of 2026, citing the impact of the Iran-Iraq war on tourism. The group's operating revenue fell by 8.6 percent to 137 million Swiss francs, while net profit dropped 22 percent to 28.9 million Swiss francs compared to the previous year's record performance.
The Jungfraujoch destination was particularly affected, seeing an 18 percent decrease in visitors, totaling 389,600 guests. This downturn was largely attributed to a reduction in travelers from India and Southeast Asia following the onset of the conflict in Iran.
While the Jungfraujoch experienced lower numbers, the group's adventure mountains (Erlebnisberge) saw a slight increase in visitors, rising approximately 5 percent between early July and late August. The company managed to reduce operating costs by 4.6 percent, aided by lower electricity prices.
