Gymnasium Alpenstrasse, Educational institution in Vignoble, Switzerland
The Gymnasium Alpenstrasse stands on a hillside above the city center, featuring a yellow facade and animal reliefs at the main entrance portal.
The school building, designed by architect Emil Moser following a competition in 1902, opened its doors in 1910 as an educational facility for male students.
This bilingual gymnasium provides education in both German and French languages, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the Bern canton educational system.
Students can access the facility via bus line 5 from the central station to the Alpenstrasse stop, with the main entrance located at Alpenstrasse 48.
Latin maxims decorate the building's animal reliefs, including philosophical statements such as 'De nihilo nihil' and 'Sapienti sat' near the entrance.
