He took his first steps in cross-country skiing thanks to his parents. At the age of 10, he participated in the first regional race and his rise started from then. He has managed to combine sports with his studies, first at a sports school of Malles, which allowed him to train without neglecting his studies, then close to home, cultivating his passion thanks to the Ski Club of San Michele Appiano. He grew up with the myth of Northug, the king of cross-country skiing, and admires his colleague, Dietmar Noeckler. In his free time, he likes riding his bicycle and staying in touch with nature. Climbing is one of his passions.
