Let’s talk to Annina Uehli, the talented young cross-country skier

Cross-country skiing is much more than just a sport – it’s a way of life, with training extending throughout the year.

Whether on roller skis, while trail running, or on long bike tours, Annina pursues her passion for cross-country skiing year-round. As a sponsor, we at Sirocco support her in this pursuit, through commitment, focus, and, naturally, that memorable cup of tea which makes every training day extra special.

Annina, what are your athletic goals for the next season?
I’m starting my first U18 season and want to prove myself in the BKW Swiss Cup – ideally, placing right at the head of the pack. My dream would be to compete in the COC (Continental Cup, FIS race).

How about your training program during summer?
I vary my summer workouts for a broader training spectrum: roller skiing, long hikes, bike tours, trail running, and weight training are all in the mix. And in the morning? I like to start with a cup of Sirocco Pure Power tea – I feel it gives me that energy boost all day long!

And how do you relax after training?
Regeneration is just as important as the training program itself. I stretch, exercise with a foam roller, and then treat myself to a good book and a cup of Sirocco Camomile Orange Blossoms, which I like to refine with Sirocco organic blossom honey and enjoy its delicate floral flavor notes. This helps me breathe easy, wind down, and relax.

 Thank you Annina and all the best for the new season!
