To celebrate the end of the winter season, me together with Stöckli Ski and ricardo.ch are auctioning brand-new Stöckli skis with binding and base at a value of up to 1,400 CHF. Whether you love gliding down the slopes, or rather go on a ski tour, or you are an ambitioned participant at ski races – it’s your choice. I would be very happy if the skis will be auctioned for a high price since the entire revenue of the auction will go to the Wings for Life Foundation. They support research programs for spinal cord injuries.

The ricardo.ch auction runs from April 29 to May 5. I will sign and personally give you your fabulous new skis on Sunday, May 5 prior to the Wings for Life World Run in Zug.

So tell me: who bids the highest?

Yesterday's successes do not count for anything today; the next step is always the most important. Learn more about my achievements so far.

I feel very fortunate to have partnerships with various regional, national and international companies. Special thanks go to my main sponsor, Helvetia, and I would also like to give my heartfelt thanks to my other sponsors, suppliers, supporters and patrons!

Success is never achieved alone. I am so very grateful that I have had people around me from a very young age who have wholeheartedly supported me on my journey. Of course, my biggest thanks go to my family. My "Wall of Fame" is my way of picking out and thanking just some of the countless people who have supported me throughout the years. Thank you all so much!

I am pleased to be an ambassador for the Wings for Life World Run in Switzerland. The event aims to collect donations for the Wings for Life foundation – a non-profit organisation that drives forward spinal cord research.

During my time at Sportmittelschule Engelberg (a sports-focussed gymnasium), I spent many hours on Mount Titlis. Even though training was tough, I always enjoyed skiing on Mount Titlis. During this time, Mount Titlis – in addition to the Klewenalp mountain where I discovered my passion for skiing as a child – became my local mountain. See for yourself how beautiful the Engelberg area is, both winter and summer, via the links to the webcams.
