Interview with Rico Gumpinger

3 words that define you as an athlete?

Ambitious, success-driven, athletic.

3 values that define you as a person?

Rigorous, full of humour, team spirit.

Why do you feel you belong to the Cimalp family?

CIMAL is a family brand that stands for values I truly respect. I am thrilled to be part of this adventure for another year.

What is your best and worst memory in the mountains, and why?

Climbing my first 4,000m peaks (Allalinhorn, Lagginhorn, Alphubel) remains the best memory I have from my many adventures. However, the first time I camped at the Breithorn col at 4,000 m, my body couldn't acclimatise quickly enough — and the night was an absolute nightmare.

What do the mountains inspire in you?

Happiness, freedom, calm.

What is your relationship with the environment and ecology?

Economy, sustainability, environmentally conscious quality of life.

Another great passion or talent beyond sport?

Travelling, eating out, friends, photography.
