Sybille Blanjean

Born (1999) and raised in Verbier, Switzerland, Sybille's parents cultivated her deep-rooted passion for the mountains from a tender age. When she reached the age of 12, she faced a pivotal decision, as she was offered the opportunity to pursue her skiing journey within the structured framework of the regional alpine ski racing program.

Her commitment and talent culminated in a victory, as she earned the 1st place at the Xtreme Verbier during the FWT22. Verbier native, competing at home, surrounded by her loved ones, was a cherished dream for Sybille.

Questions for Sybille Blanjean

Tell us who you are

I am a positive and energetic person. I am also a perfectionist: I like to do things well, and when I know I would not succeed in my endeavor, I prefer to abstain altogether.


What does it mean instead to step out of one’s comfort zone

It is something that fascinates and frightens at the same time. When you’re up there, you realize how high up you are and how many other incredible mountains there are to ski-this feeling inspires me and makes me want to discover them all!
