Swiss Snowboard Cross Olympian Sophie Hediger Dies in Avalanche at 26

Swiss snowboard cross Olympian Sophie Hediger, a rising star in her sport, tragically lost her life in an avalanche in Arosa. The 26-year-old athlete, who had recently celebrated her first World Cup podium finishes, passed away on December 23, as confirmed by the Swiss Ski Federation (Swiss-Ski) on December 24.

A Promising Career Cut Short

Hediger’s talent shone early in her career. She captured a silver medal at the Lillehammer 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games and went on to represent Switzerland in both individual and mixed team snowboard cross events at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

Her breakthrough came last season on the FIS World Cup circuit, where she achieved two podium finishes. She secured second place at St. Moritz in January and followed it up with a third-place finish in Gudauri, Georgia, just a week later.

A Community in Mourning

Walter Reusser, Swiss-Ski Sport CEO, expressed the deep sorrow felt across the Swiss skiing community:
“We are stunned, and our thoughts are with Sophie’s family, to whom we express our deepest condolences. For the Swiss Ski family, the tragic death of Sophie Hediger has cast a dark shadow over the Christmas holidays.”

Hediger’s untimely passing has left a significant void not only in her sport but also in the hearts of those who knew her.

A Life Rooted in the Mountains

Born and raised in Horgen, near Lake Zurich, Hediger was deeply connected to the mountains that shaped her life and career. She spent much of her time freeriding at the Arosa resort, the site of the tragic avalanche.

The entire snowboarding community remembers Sophie Hediger not just as an exceptional athlete but as a bright and passionate individual whose potential was just beginning to unfold.
