Check out what happens if you join the guys at Protest for one of their Jokers Episodes. They really made me take a snow shower in one of their bikinis! But anyway, it was the funniest day of the season so far….

Happy Advent with Audi!

Audi Switzerland is running a fun raffle during the advent season: Just go to www.audi.ch/christmas-stars and click on the the boxes.

GR 2022: Time for new ideas!

My home region Graubünden is about to present itself as a candidate for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The concept is full of new ideas: “Graubünden 2022” stands for sustainable, reduced in size Olympic Games in a wintersports region full of tradition. I think this is a great chance to both redefine the concept of the Winter Games and to strengthen sportsmanship in Switzerland. I have been named the female ambassador for the project and hope the population of Graubünden will give it a shot in the vote of March 3rd!

Fun shoot with Gian Marco Castelberg & crew for the upcoming campaign

I really hope this is not gonna be the one picture…. But mouth acrobatics can help you smile more!

Time to shine!

One of the days I really can’t thank Audi enough for hooking me up with this Q5 Hybrid Quattro. In order to find the perfect background, the shoot took place at a beautiful spot called end of the world! 

Sports, The American Way

In my newest contribution for NZZ, I am trying to find explanations for the matter of fact that snowboarding is so much bigger in the US than elsewhere. Check it out here !

New job!

NZZ, my favorite newspaper in the german-speaking world, asked me to host a sportsblog for their website throughout my winter season. ”Winter - the snowblog with Ursina Haller” went online on first of november and I am really stoked on this. I’m looking forward do a lot of writing this winter and give a glimpse into the world of snowboarding. Anybody who likes to read in german, check it out from time to time : http://www.snowboard.blog.nzz.ch

From summer to winter

Welcome home - my jetlag and I just came back from New Zealand! This year, I planned to let the summer - winter transformation only happen during three weeks to me. But somehow, I ended up staying in the southern hemisphere for more than a month. Once the summer nostalgia was left behind, I just enjoyed the riding, beautiful landscape and great travel buddies too much to leave already….

See you later summer - it’s good to have a winter down south before a winter up north!

During one month of time, you learn quite something about the local standards. Redefinition of the notion “traffic jam”. 

The Maori name for NZ is Aotearoa - land of the long white cloud. A suitable name considering the number of days the thing shows!

But New Zealand has so much to offer on down days. Roadtrippin with team France.

On our way to Milford Sounds, we felt like driving through Mordor @ Lord of the Rings!

The crew. Merci la France!

 Milford Sounds is magic. If you ever make your way to New Zealand, this place is a must see!

So is this one. See you next year, Wanaka and southern winter!
