Robin Briguet

Half-pipe

Date of birth: 11 May 1999

With the mountains as his playground, skiing was an obvious choice for Robin Briguet. By the age of 3, he was already on skis before going on to join La Lienne Ski Club. After competing in a series of alpine ski competitions and time at Ski Valais, Robin discovered a passion for another discipline: freestyle skiing. The freedom of style and imagination that this sport offers immediately seduced the young athlete, who has been participating in it for 11 years now. Five years ago, he seriously started Halfpipe, and then joined the Swiss Freeski A team. During the summer season, Robin works at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club so that he can devote himself fully to his sport during the winter season, and take part in all the competitions at both Swiss and international levels, and above all to compete against the best riders in the discipline!
