The faces of the Simond Avant-Garde athlete Team

The Avant-Garde athlete Team

A true pioneer doesn't just reach the summit, they forge a path that matters, giving the journey as much weight as the peak itself.
That's why we don't just welcome "athletes", we welcome ambassadors who live the alpine spirit and redefine performance through versatility, creativity and dedication.

Bringing together legendary icons and rising stars, this collective values vision and commitment above raw results.
Together, they combine experience and boldness to inspire, innovate, and share their love for the mountains.

Welcome to Team Simond Avant-Garde.
