Marine, 17 years-old, lives in Val-d’Illiez, in the heart of the Région Dents du Midi. Surrounded by mountains and trails, she grew up in an ideal playground to develop her passion for cycling.
After several years of road cycling and triathlon, where Marine managed to reach the Swiss top 15, she discovered downhill mountain biking five years ago. Very quickly, this discipline became a no-brainer. The speed, the jumps, the roots, the technical turns, and the adrenaline of the downhill runs immediately captivated her.
Since then, she has been pursuing her dream with determination, aiming to improve on the most demanding tracks. The 2025 season marked an important milestone in her journey, with two major titles: Swiss downhill vice-champion and Valais champion in her category.
Proud to come from the Région Dents du Midi, she continues to train with passion, driven by the desire to push her limits and represent her region on downhill tracks.
