How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Gersau?
Gross bookings per Gersau listing averaged CHF 31,950 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Schwyz average: CHF 23,826), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Gersau listing brings in CHF 4,990 in July, its best month, and CHF 1,900 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 2%, and January sits just 3% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Gersau's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 5,340+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CHF 3,020 or more, roughly CHF 1,300 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 1,710 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 960 or less, about 56% 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 Gersau Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gersau Airbnb took in CHF 31,950 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 1,830 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 3,270 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 2,490 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 2,040 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 Gersau's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gersau listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 145 adds about CHF 1,450 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 240 a night or more, against a median of CHF 145. 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 2,950 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CHF 4,990, against CHF 1,900 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Gersau listings average 4.88 stars, and 58% 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 4,700 a month, against CHF 2,660 for the average one.
