Laëtitia Roux

Born in Savines-le-Lac, France, in 1985, Laëtitia Roux developed a passion for sports and respect for nature from an early age. She began alpine ski racing before transitioning to ski mountaineering in 2005. She quickly established herself in the sport, joining the PACA section of the Fédération française de la montagne et de l’escalade (FFME) and competing in the Alpi-Champsaur race in December of the same year. Her career in ski mountaineering saw her accumulate over 60 victories in World Cup events and major classic races of the Grande Course circuit, including 17 World Championship titles and 7 Pierra Menta victories.

Laëtitia Roux’s professional affiliations include being a member of Team Ecrins Hautes-Alpes and the international Dynafit team. She has been a consistent member of the French national selection since 2007. In 2018, she joined Team Vibram, subsequently achieving a record at Patrouille des Glaciers, a second-place finish at Pierra Menta, and securing two new World Cup titles. Her pursuit of performance extends to her equipment choices, where she prioritizes quality, reliability, and lightness.

Following her dominant career in ski mountaineering, Roux sought new endeavors in mountain bike marathon events. She won the 4-day ultra marathon “Les Chemins du Soleil.” Since 2020, she has focused on her “Be the change” project, touring Europe to promote sustainability and foster environmental responsibility. This initiative reflects her evolving approach to competition and her desire to share her experiences and knowledge.
