Biography

Born in South Tyrol in 2001, she has always been fascinated by the ability to master the icy track by choosing the perfect lines. Part of a rapidly rising generation of talent, she has steadily built experience while targeting increasingly ambitious goals.

European champion in singles at junior level (2019 and 2020) and Under 23 level (2024), she has also established herself among the seniors thanks to two consecutive European bronzes in the team relay (2024 and 2025) and two victories in the final Nations Cup standings (2020/2021 and 2023/2024). She recharges her energy through hiking or mountain running, enjoys seaside fun and is passionate about cooking – especially desserts. Friendship and personal bonds play a central role in her life, and it is to them that she hopes to dedicate a great achievement at the Milano Cortina Games.
