Margaux joined the Swiss Ski Mountaineering Junior Team in June 2022. Born and raised at the foot of the Dents du Midi and the Dents Blanches massifs, she’s been in love with the mountains and skiing for as long as she can remember. After a few years of alpine skiing with the Champéry ski club, she began ski touring with her family, and then with the Swiss Alpine Club.

Inspired by Tobias Donnet and Kilian Granger, two other athletes from Region Dents du Midi, she made the transition from ski touring to skimo racing. Today, 6 years later, she’s still pushing her limits uphill and down on skinny skis with several medals and titles to her name. When she’s not training or racing, Margaux swaps her ‘matchsticks’ for fat freeride skis and explores the nooks and crannies and couloirs right in her own backyard!

In 2024, she has been selected for the European Championships in Flaine and Chamonix, and will be taking part in various World Cup events.
