Many destinations are extending their operations into November, often offering weekend openings at a minimum. In November 2024, overnight stays at mountain resorts showed an increase of around 30% compared to 2018, explains the promotion body Switzerland Tourism. This growth was driven in particular by the increase in domestic demand, as well as by American customers, according to the comparison between the figures available for autumn 2024 and those for 2018.

“There has been a change in attitude among operators in recent years: more and more are prepared to keep their facilities open beyond the summer season,” Angelo Trotta, director of Ticino Turismo, is quoted as saying in a press release. For the first time, in 2025 the Schilthorn cable car in canton Bern will be open all year round, with no interruptions for maintenance in November and December.
