Their passionate, youthful attitude to the slopes is contagious and values that Alpina adheres to. Those competing or practicing are reassured that Alpina truly understands their strong relationship and bond with the sport and will ensure that accuracy will be a top importance for the watch brand, appreciating that timing is crucial.

With this partnership we want to give our contribution in communicating this fantastic and genuine sport alongside the FFS. Being an Alpine brand, we consider it our duty and responsibility to promote the values of alpine sports and the respect for the mountain environment"
Michel Vion, President of the French Ski Federation and former World Ski Champion in 1982, is also an important member of the International Ski Federation Council announces: ”Alpina Watches is symbolic of precision and excellence. The French Ski Teams have a lot in common with this brand born in the Swiss Alps and mountain is their mutual environment.”
