Originally from Val-d’Illiez, this 15-year-old rider has always followed his passion: speed and adrenaline. From his first descents on the trails of Les Crosets to his recent successes in competition, he has never stopped progressing. Today, with a place in the Valais and inter-regional downhill mountain bike teams, he dreams of shining on the European stage.
Cycling is in his blood and at the age of three he tried to follow his older brother on the trails of Les Crosets. After some BMX experience, at the age of 11, he finally got his parents’ permission to pursue his true passion: downhill mountain biking (DH MTB). He soon joined the Illiez Bike Club and started riding the trails of the Portes du Soleil to improve his technique. In winter, he rediscovered the feeling of freedom on skis.
From the age of 13, he took part in his first competitions, with modest means but unflagging motivation. His commitment paid off and in 2024 he was selected for the Valais and Interregional DH teams. A collarbone fracture in the middle of the season brought his progress to a sudden halt, but he did not give up. After a four-month break, he came back stronger and ready to compete again.
In 2025, he has his sights set on podium finishes in the Hot Trail Series, the Swiss MTB DH Cup and a top 15 in the European Cup. His ambition? To keep pushing his limits, always with the same passion and enthusiasm.
