Arosa Lenzerheide in eastern Switzerland was able to capitalise on strengths such as snow reliability and the size of the ski area in a long winter season, the company said on Thursday.

Ticket sales from the winter sports business contributed the lion's share of revenue. They accounted for 93% of transport revenue. The reported annual profit totalled CHF2.4 million.

Summer business in 2024 was comparatively average with 146,000 visitors, according to the press release. However, expectations were exceeded in the winter months despite a winter with little snow.

“The consistently pursued qualitative development of the range of services on both sides of the mountain, combined with favourable atmospheric conditions, are paying off,” the management said in the press release. Last winter season, Arosa Lenzerheide recorded 83 days of sunshine (58%), which is well above the long-term average.

Once again, technical snowmaking proved to be an indispensable basis for reliable winter operations, it said. At the same time, the natural snow fell sparingly, but always at the right time.“Until the late end of the season on April 21, 2025, excellent winter sports conditions prevailed throughout, often accompanied by beautiful weather at the weekends,” it said.
