On Friday, June 20, 2025, the General Assembly of Schilthornbahn AG took place in the Alpine Sportzentrum in Mürren.

A special milestone was the opening of the world's steepest cable car and the first Funifor railway in Switzerland on December 14, 2024.

The reasons were in higher personnel costs, the activation of personal contributions and increased energy prices. A positive aspect was the turnover of sales in the catering instinct: the decline in sales of the 360 ° restaurant Piz Gloria was only 17 %, while the Panorama Restaurant generated sales for the first time over a million francs and thus had a plus of 10 %.
