Originally from Milan and now based in Chamonix, Natalia discovered ski mountaineering at the age of 14 and fell in love with it from the very first moment. Just a year later, she moved to Bormio to be closer to the mountains and to dedicate herself to year-round training.
She thrives in long-distance skimo races and enjoys competing in ultra trail running events during the summer. Her greatest motivation is pushing her personal limits and striving to beat her own best.
On recovery days, Natalia can be found climbing, freeskiing, or in the kitchen cooking up delicious Italian meals.
After welcoming her children, Marlo in June 2018 and Sasha in 2020, she has returned to peak form—and is back on the competition circuit, more motivated than ever.
