Vanessa has been teaching skiing for 28 years, a passion that has driven her since childhood. Introduced to the sport by her parents, she quickly progressed through the ranks of a ski club before moving on to competition. From there, becoming a ski instructor was an obvious step, and today she enthusiastically passes on her knowledge, both in alpine skiing and ski touring.

Off the slopes, Vanessa is also an entrepreneur, running Alto Acro, a company specialising in acrobatic work with a wide range of skills. When she's not skiing, she likes to explore the mountains on foot or by bike, and relax at the cinema. Her favourite slope? Biollay.
