Skiing has been a passion of Vanessa's since childhood. Introduced to the sport by her parents, she quickly progressed within a ski club before taking up competitive skiing.

She has been teaching skiing for 28 years and her favourite slope is Biollay.

Vanessa is also a business owner and manages Alto Acro, a company specialising in acrobatic work with a wide range of expertise. Off the slopes, she enjoys hiking and cycling in the mountains, and relaxing at the cinema.
