Switzerland Airbnb Market at a Glance
Bern holds six of the top ten places but only 12 of the 66 ranked markets. Its listings earn more: its ranked markets average CHF 45,000 per listing, against CHF 23,500 for ranked markets elsewhere.
Across Switzerland, the 30,000 active Airbnb listings tracked by AirROI, a short-term-rental data firm, averaged CHF 24,600 over the same period. They were booked on 39% of nights at about CHF 245 a night; the ranking covers the 66 markets with at least 100 active listings. Revenue per listing rose in 52 of the 65 ranked markets with a comparable year of data, by 8% in the typical one.
The ranking weighs revenue per listing most, then occupancy and market size, then how evenly income spreads across the year and how it changed on the year. It reflects rental performance, not purchase prices or local short-term rental rules. How the ranking works.

Management
Who Manages Airbnbs in Switzerland?
AirROI ranks the 100 largest of the 193 companies that run 5 or more Airbnb listings in Switzerland, by listings, guest rating and growth; companies run 21% of its listings.
Method
How the Ranking Works
The ranking covers the 66 markets in Switzerland with at least 100 active Airbnb listings and data through October 2026. Each market is compared with the others on five measures, and markets are ordered by a weighted blend of where they place on each:
- Revenue per listing (35%): average revenue an active listing earned over the past 12 months.
- Occupancy (20%): share of available nights that were booked.
- Market size (20%): active listings. Bigger markets offer more comparable rentals to price against and more buyers when you sell.
- Year-round demand (15%): revenue in the slowest month as a share of the best month. The latest month is left out when its bookings look incomplete.
- Growth (10%): change in revenue per listing from the year before. Markets whose boundaries changed between years are scored in the middle.
Left out: 74 markets whose data predate the latest refresh and 3 towns listed a second time under another spelling. The score measures how rentals perform. It does not include purchase prices, financing, operating costs or local short-term rental rules, which vary by address and should be checked before buying. Figures are in Swiss francs and match each market's own report; see the data methodology for how listings are tracked.
To check one property before buying, run its address and size through the Airbnb estimator for a revenue, occupancy and nightly-rate range from comparable listings.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Airbnb Investing in Switzerland
What is the best place to buy an Airbnb in Switzerland?
Grindelwald ranks first of the 66 markets in Switzerland in AirROI's ranking, with CHF 59,300 in average revenue per listing and 55% occupancy. Lucerne and Zurich follow. The ranking weighs revenue, occupancy, market size, seasonality and growth; it leaves out purchase prices.
What are the most profitable Airbnb locations in Switzerland?
By revenue per listing, among markets with at least 200 listings, Lauterbrunnen leads at CHF 65,900 a year, ahead of Grindelwald at CHF 59,300. Profit also depends on what a property costs to buy and run, which varies far more between markets than revenue does.
How much does an Airbnb make in Switzerland?
The average active listing in Switzerland earned CHF 24,600 over the 12 months to October 2026, at 39% occupancy. Across the ranked markets, the middle half averaged between CHF 17,600 and CHF 27,300 per listing. Averages include listings that operated for only part of the year, so a listing rented all year typically earns more.
What is a good Airbnb occupancy rate in Switzerland?
The average listing in Switzerland was booked on 39% of available nights over the past 12 months. Half of the ranked markets fall between 34% and 40%, so a market above about 40% sits in the top quarter. Occupancy is only half the picture: a market with lower occupancy can still earn more if its nightly rates are higher.
Where is Airbnb demand highest in Switzerland?
Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Grindelwald has the highest occupancy, with 55% of available nights booked, followed by Lauterbrunnen at 53%. Its listings average about CHF 355 a night and CHF 59,300 a year.
Where are Airbnb nightly rates highest in Switzerland?
Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Klosters has the highest average nightly rate, about CHF 555, followed by Verbier at CHF 515. St. Gallen is the least expensive, at about CHF 125. The average booked night in Switzerland costs about CHF 245.
What is the best month for Airbnb in Switzerland?
February is the highest-earning month for 36 of the 66 ranked markets, followed by July (21). November is the most common slowest month, in 36 of the 66 markets. Each market's report shows its own month-by-month revenue, occupancy and rates.
Which Airbnb markets in Switzerland earn the most evenly through the year?
Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Lausanne has the steadiest income: its slowest month, January, still earns about two-thirds of its best. Geneva follows, at 58%. Steadier markets are easier to budget for, though they do not always earn the most per listing.
Which Airbnb markets are growing fastest in Switzerland?
Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, revenue per listing grew most in Lucerne, up 23% on the year before, and in St. Gallen, up 19%. A single strong year can reflect events or new supply, so it is worth checking a market's monthly trend before relying on it.
Is Airbnb still profitable in Switzerland in 2026?
Revenue per listing grew in 52 of the 65 ranked markets with a comparable year of data; in the typical market it rose 8%. Whether a given property profits depends on its purchase price, financing and running costs.
What are the best smaller Airbnb markets in Switzerland?
Among ranked markets with fewer than 150 active listings, Sigriswil (#10 overall, CHF 51,100 per listing), Thun (#13, CHF 29,500) and Beatenberg (#16, CHF 37,400) place highest. Smaller markets have fewer comparable rentals to price against, so their averages can move more from year to year.
How many Airbnb listings are there in Switzerland?
AirROI tracked 30,000 active Airbnb listings in Switzerland over the 12 months to October 2026, across 377 markets. The largest ranked market is Zurich, with 1,670 listings, followed by Geneva with 1,010.
Do Airbnb hosts need a permit in Switzerland?
Rules can be national or regional as well as local, and they change often, so check each of them for any address you consider. In the listing data, most listings display a registration number in 8 of the 66 ranked markets, including Lugano, Locarno and Davos, though that shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow.
Which region is best for Airbnb in Switzerland?
By average revenue per listing, Bern leads at CHF 40,700, followed by Lucerne at CHF 37,700. Wallis places the most markets in the national ranking: 23 of 66, one of them in the top ten. Within any region, the market you choose matters as much as the region itself.
