Climbing: She is an avid climber, carrying on a family tradition. So far she has climbed 11 of the 48 4000m peaks in Switzerland. She and her brother Luc, who is training to be a mountain guide, climbed the highest Swiss peak, the Dufourspitze (4634m) in summer 2021. “It was a crazy day. At first, we walked for a few hours, very hot. Then things really went up. At about 4300 meters above sea level, we came to a side of ice. It’s windy – I haven’t been as cold before. I cried with joy at the summit cross.“ (blick.ch, 29 Dec 2021)
