Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Gruyères brought in CHF 18,498 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 7% more than the Fribourg average of CHF 17,249.
The short answer
Gruyères earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged CHF 210 a night and were booked on 30% of available nights, against CHF 155 and 41% for the Fribourg average.
Timing matters: in August, usually the best month, the average listing earns about twice as much as in November, usually the slowest. With only 45 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 45 active listings, Gruyères is the third-largest of 9 Fribourg markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue rose 7% while the number of active listings grew 22%.

Gross bookings per Gruyères listing averaged CHF 18,498 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Fribourg average: CHF 17,249), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Gruyères listing brings in CHF 2,640 in August, its best month, and CHF 1,320 in November, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads July by 3%, and November sits just 5% below March, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 2.8 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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, CHF 2,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gruyères Airbnb took in CHF 18,498 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 910 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 1,550 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 2,850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,150 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 780 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.

Permits
None of the 45 active listings in Gruyères 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.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Gruyères.
