Laure Desmurs

Our ambassadors

Our athletes

A mountain lover in all its forms and dressed in her finest kit, Laure enjoys covering the paths summer and winter alike, whether running or skiing.

This seasoned athlete, who recently became a mother, now faces a new challenge: balancing sharing, passing on her knowledge, and training!

Originally from Burgundy, what Laure truly loves about the trail mindset is being serious without taking yourself too seriously — and especially recovering over a nice glass of Givry Premier Cru!

Interview with Laure Desmurs

3 words that define you as an athlete?

Passionate. Curious. Competitive.

3 values that define you as a person?

Perseverance, conviviality and a love of banter.

Why do you feel you belong to the Cimalp family?

For the attentiveness, the genuine interest shown in the athlete, and the philosophy of sharing and support that Cimalp embodies.

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

Les Agneaux (Écrins) with my little 5-month bump... because the passing on of a passion starts very early! The best always comes with the worst, as pleasure in the mountains so often goes hand in hand with risk and thrills.

What do the mountains inspire in you?

Escape, challenge and freedom!

What is your relationship with the environment and ecology?

Cherish Mother Nature so you never stop being in awe of her!

Another great passion / talent beyond sport?

Van travel!
