Mountain bike marathon from Verbier to Grimentz: 125 km and 5,025 m of elevation gain

I coach athletes in a wide range of sports, and I've been competing at a high level for more than 20 years.
With a bachelor's and a master's in sports science and more than 20 years of racing, I bring both deep expertise and real-world experience.
These days, sports are part of every area of my life – as a coach, in my free time, and as a PE teacher at a vocational school.

02Doing is like wanting – only more intense.
My goals in sports have changed over the years. Today it's all about adventure, pushing my limits, and the emotions that come with it!
I went from road running, mountain bike racing, and duathlon to triathlon, Gigathlon, and trail running. These days I do a bit of everything – on the trails, on my mountain bike, or on my gravel bike. Where the clock used to matter, now it's all about the experience.
Here's a selection of my biggest adventures, from my first Inferno in 2006 to today, plus the film project I'm working on right now.
The world is full of adventure – you just need the courage to live it.

On a team

My very first race


Since the 2022 X-Pyr, I've been part of Team SUI 1, led by paraglider pilot Chrigel Maurer. That grew into a film project I'm managing: the same moments, told from the air and from the ground at the same time.
The pilot film from the 2026 X-Pyr covers 530 km (330 miles) on foot and by paraglider across the Pyrenees. Directed by Marcial Sommer.
