After two difficult years due to the COVID pandemic, the Swiss Youth Hostels concluded 2022 with accommodation numbers above the pre-crisis level, starting the new year off with strong booking numbers. There are various new things coming to the hostel network in 2023 as well, plus both the Swiss Youth Hostels and the Swiss Foundation for Social Tourism are heading towards their 100th and 50th year anniversaries, respectively.
Numerous anniversary activities are on the agenda, starting with the Switzerland-wide «Youth Challenge», based on the values of the non-profit organisations.

A handful of youth hostels have been honoured with awards from the Swiss sustainability label Ibex Fairstay. One facility stood out in particular.

Delémont Youth Hostel is pleased with its Ibex Fairstay Gold certification. The facilities in Schaan-Vaduz, St. Moritz and Trin have been awarded the highest level, Platinum.
