The TOPtoTOP family celebrates an outstanding achievement: Alegra Schwoerer has been crowned Swiss Ski Mountaineering Champion U16 in the Individual discipline at the 2026 championships in Grindelwald.

A Dominant Season Start
On January 11, 2026, Alegra secured 1st place (Swiss Champion) in the prestigious Individual race in Grindelwald – the crown jewel of ski mountaineering competitions. This victory represents the pinnacle of her recent performances and reflects years of dedication to the sport.
Just one week prior, at the La Berra races on January 3–4, 2026, Alegra demonstrated her versatility and consistency by earning silver medals (2nd place) in both the Vertical and Sprint disciplines. These achievements showcase her well-rounded technical abilities and mental strength across the diverse demands of ski mountaineering racing. – Here the start in Grindelwald:

Noé’s Strong Performance in Norway
Her brother Noé is making waves as well. At the Norwegian Ski Mountaineering National Championships, Noé claimed the U18 Sprint title (Master) – an impressive achievement even in races in the Alps, where he was facing equipment challenges and still performed quite well. His resilience and technical skill shine through, demonstrating that the next generation of ski mountaineers is ready.

Building Community Through Sport: TOPtoTOP-Adventure
Beyond individual victories, the TOPtoTOP movement is expanding its impact on a broader scale. Salina, Andri, and Noé have been actively participating in various J+S leadership courses across multiple outdoor sports disciplines. Their passion for sharing these experiences has led them to establish a new association: TOPtoTOP-Adventure.
Based in the Engelberg (Swiss Alps) and Lyngseidet (Lyngen Alps), this polysport club brings together like-minded outdoor enthusiasts across generations. The mission is clear and inspiring: to engage as many people as possible in the natural world through outdoor sports. By combining diverse disciplines and welcoming participants of all ages and nations, TOPtoTOP-Adventure embodies a philosophy that outdoor experiences are gateways to lifelong environmental stewardship and community connection.
