Buying and selling mountain railway shares

Buy or sell shares in Swiss mountain railways: offers, buyer requests and company share exchanges – directly between shareholders, no commission.

Sell shares Post a purchase request

Many Swiss mountain railways are owned by thousands of shareholders from the region and from the holiday resorts. The shares are not listed on a stock exchange, and anyone who wants to sell them – after an inheritance or a move, for example – often finds no buyer.

On SwissOwners you can offer your mountain railway shares confidentially or post a buyer request. Interested parties are often locals, guests and second-home owners who want to benefit from shareholder perks such as discounted season passes.

The registered shares are usually restricted: the transfer requires the board's approval. If the company has its own share exchange on SwissOwners, buyers and sellers find each other there; purchase agreement, payment and entry in the share register take place outside SwissOwners.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the mountain railway's approval?

For restricted registered shares, yes. The company can refuse a buyer for important reasons set out in its articles of association, or offer to take over the shares itself at their real value.

What does it cost to offer mountain railway shares on SwissOwners?

Suchen, merken und anfragen ist kostenlos. Für ein Verkaufsinserat gilt eine fixe Gebühr, keine Provision auf den Verkaufspreis. Die ersten Angebote sind mit dem Startangebot 3 Monate kostenlos.

Do I remain anonymous as a seller?

Yes. Your name and contact details are not public. Interested parties write to you via SwissOwners, and you decide whom to reply to.

How is the price set?

Unlisted shares have no market price. Buyer and seller agree on the price directly. Earlier sales, the dividend, the net asset value and any shareholder perks provide guidance.

Do you represent the company? Open your own share exchange – your shareholders offer shares, interested parties get in touch. The parties handle the contract and transfer outside SwissOwners. Register a company
