Maximilien Drion du Chapois

Professional athlete

A veteran of our Race team, Maximilien is one of the world’s top ski mountaineers — remarkable for a Belgian coming from a country without mountains — though he now lives in Switzerland.

He’s nicknamed ‘the Swiss Belgian’, because Maximilien, who consistently tops the World Cup rankings (second overall this year) and who has already qualified for Milan-Cortina 2026, has lived in the Swiss mountains since he was a child, but has chosen to race for the Belgian national team. A valuable new entry to our team.
