When it comes to crossing mountains, few people on the plant do it as well as Rémi Bonnet. In both mountain running and ski mountaineering, the Swiss athlete has won some of the biggest races and championships around the world making him a year-round endurance legend.
Born and raised surrounded by alpine peaks in the town of Charmey, Rémi grew up at play in the mountains and it’s no surprise he was known a real mountain goat from an early age. He was already a Junior and U23 world champion when he shattered the course record at the 2015 Red Bull K3 race and since turning pro that year he’s clocked up wins in the biggest mountain running events. The UTMB World Series, Golden Trail Series and the famed Marathon du Mont-Blanc – Rémi’s won them all.
