On a brisk autumn Saturday, 29 November, the community of Zug gathered at Postplatz to witness a historic moment for Institut Montana Zugerberg. The school proudly unveiled its special '100 Years' Jubilee Bus, a collaborative project with Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (ZVB). This e-bus, specially wrapped in the school's branding, symbolizes a century of educational legacy and a forward-looking commitment to sustainability. The event, marked by palpable excitement despite the cold, launched a 13-month initiative where the school will donate to the GGZ Nonprofit Foundation Zug for every kilometer the bus travels, directly giving back to the local community that has supported it for generations. The ceremony featured speeches from Chairman Alexander Biner, ZVB CEO Cyrill Weber, and GGZ Managing Director Maria Hügin, emphasizing the partnership's strength and the initiative's charitable purpose.
The ceremony's highlight was the dramatic ribbon-cutting by students, accompanied by the school's theme song and a burst of confetti. Guests then explored the bus interior, adorned with Montana colours and informational displays about the school's programmes and centenary celebrations. The event fostered a warm atmosphere of community, with refreshments and conversations among attendees, including business partners and special guest Dr. Stephan Rietiker, a parent of alumni. By 2:00 p.m., the unveiled bus departed, ready to commence service on ZVB lines across Zug, carrying the school's story into the public sphere. The initiative successfully blends celebration with tangible social contribution, reinforcing the school's role as a committed community partner. The event garnered significant media attention, further highlighting this unique milestone.
