Gross bookings per Frutigen listing averaged CHF 29,072 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Bern average: CHF 38,045), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Frutigen listing brings in CHF 5,620 in July, its best month, and CHF 1,570 in November, its slowest. March runs within 3% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 43% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Frutigen Airbnb took in CHF 29,072 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 1,520 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about CHF 2,630 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 3,620 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 1,310 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

None of the 75 active listings in Frutigen display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
