A brand born in the Swiss Alps, Alpina shares the values of the Skiing sport in which technical skills, precision, perseverance and respect for the mountain are key. At the same time Alpina is also proud to support the younger skiing generations, who practice their alpine activities with diligence and passion, communicating positive values to the youth.
Guido Benedini, CEO of Alpina Watches says: "We are proud to become a partner of a major alpine sports Federation at international level like the French Ski Federation. With this partnership we want to give our contribution in communicating this fantastic and genuine sport alongside the FFS. Being an Alpine brand, we consider it our duty and responsibility to promote the values of alpine sports and the respect for the mountain environment"
Michel Vion, President of the French Ski Federation and former World Ski Champion in 1982, is also an important member of the International Ski Federation Council. He is delighted about the new collaboration between the FFS and Alpina Watches: "Alpina Watches is symbolic of precision and excellence. The French Ski Teams have a lot in common with this brand born in the Swiss Alps and mountain is their mutual environment."
This new partnership with the Swiss Watchmaker Alpina reaffirms the French Ski Federation and its teams' attractiveness.
