On February 20, 2026, a ski instructor at a school camp in Lauchernalp, Switzerland, was suspended after purchasing vodka mixed with an energy drink, approximately 25% alcohol, for a 14 or 15-year-old student. The incident, which occurred during a ski trip for students from the canton of Bern, came to light when another staff member noticed at least one student inebriated. The school administration has launched an investigation, informed the affected families, and is considering further sanctions. The commune confirmed the teacher's suspension pending a full inquiry and plans to enhance training and oversight for school trips to prevent recurrence.
