Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kandersteg?

Gross bookings per Kandersteg listing averaged CHF 34,640 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 Kandersteg listing brings in CHF 6,360 in July, its best month, and CHF 1,640 in November, its slowest. August runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 42% 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 2.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 6,500+ a month, about twice the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn CHF 4,690 or more, roughly CHF 1,500 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 3,240 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 2,100 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

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

Is an Airbnb in Kandersteg Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Kandersteg Airbnb took in CHF 34,640 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 1,840 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 2,680 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 4,680 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 2,230 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 1,590 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.

How Kandersteg's Top Earners Get There

More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kandersteg listings are booked on 67% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 205 adds about CHF 2,030 in bookings.
Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 275 a night or more, against a median of CHF 205. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about CHF 3,000 a year.
Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CHF 6,360, against CHF 1,640 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
Reviews that stand out. Kandersteg listings average 4.86 stars, and 57% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about CHF 4,180 a month, against CHF 2,890 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Kandersteg?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Kandersteg Airbnb grossed CHF 34,640 in the 12 months to September 2026, 9% below the Bern average of CHF 38,045.
