We move trains
Zug's local mountain may be small, but it can easily keep up with the "big ones". Every year, we transport over 300,000 guests up the Zugerberg and back to the city in their leisure time or to school.
We take responsibility
We are convinced that, as a company and employer, we can make an important contribution to the well-being of all. With our ZVB sustainability programme, we make our existing commitment visible and make a concrete and conscious effort in the three dimensions of environment, social and economy. We focus on topics where we can make a real difference.
From 1907 until today
When the mountain railway was being planned in Zug, famous mountain railways were already in operation on the neighbouring mountains, whose bold installations had attracted attention far beyond Switzerland's borders.
The maiden voyage of the Zugerberg railway in spring 1907 was celebrated in the Kurhaus Schönfels. The first few years were difficult. Fewer passengers than hoped visited the Zugerberg.
The "Golden Twenties" then brought the longed-for figures. The Zugerberg rose in favour with visitors from near and far.
Shortly after the Zugerberg Railway's 75th birthday, it was extensively modernised and renovated. It was rebuilt again in 2009: The Zugerberg Railway was made wheelchair accessible; various modifications to the valley and mountain stations as well as new panoramic carriages made it possible to reach the Zugerberg without steps.
