About me: I am a Swiss ski racer who specialises in the slalom and giant slalom disciplines. I am a cheerful person and have an incredible feeling for the snow. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors in nature or playing board games. My rise in the world rankings was meteoric until I suffered a cruciate ligament rupture shortly before the 2018 Olympic Games. The rehab phase was long and not easy to cope with, but giving up was never an issue for me. I fought and returning to the 2022 World Cup was like the light at the end of the tunnel for me.

Alternative hobbies: Sport, board games, enjoying my "home"
