Your best and worst memory in the mountains, and why?

Hard to pick a single best memory. In 2013, I did a ski traverse of the Chablais massif with two friends. We spent 15 hours skiing couloirs, climbing summits and watching wildlife. An unforgettable day of sharing. I've also been through many tough moments, but those don't leave bad memories as such. I do have one worst memory in mind, but I doubt it's publishable — it would rather kill the mood...

What do the mountains inspire in you?

A parallel world of exploration, dreams and freedom — and a magnificent playground.

What is your relationship with the environment and ecology?

It's something I feel particularly strongly about, as the landscape I grew up in is transforming rapidly and I'd like to preserve it as much as possible, as I knew it. Such a beautiful environment, so perfectly suited to outdoor pursuits.

Another great passion / talent beyond sport?

Wildlife.
