turistas retornaram em massa à jungfrau em 2022
Around 625,000 tourists travelled up to the Jungfraujoch in 2022, marking an increase of 71% on 2021, the Bern Jungfraubahn Holding company said on Wednesday.
The company said the return of travellers from“different Asian markets and the US” helped to boost numbers, but Chinese visitors continue to make their absence felt.
Some 90% of those heading to the 3,454 metre-high“Top of Europe” destination come from abroad, and the pandemic thus severely dented the fortunes of the Jungfraubahn in the past few years. Even with the 2022 recovery, numbers are still 40% down on the bumper 2015-2019 period.
Other lifts and lines operated by Jungfraubahn Holdings also bounced back last year, such as the Mürrenbahn and notably the Eiger Express, a cable car – opened in 2020 – between Grindelwald and the Eiger Glacier. Numbers taking this doubled.
