BIOGRAPHIE
UNE CONVERSATION AVEC ANA ALONSO RODRIGUEZ
You’ve already taken part in all the most important events in international skimo racing. But skimo touring is a discipline that suits you particularly well. What team competitions do you dream of participating in?
Definitely the great classics of the Grande Course. The Pierra Menta and the Mezzalama are the events that excite me the most. Finishing those two races would be worth more to me than a victory in other competitions.
Aside from the mountains at home, which are special to you, what place has excited you the most?
Probably Tromsø, where I competed in the World Cup finals in April 2023. I’d never seen such a place before. On those days I felt particularly good, and I was able to perform at a high level. A week I won’t easily forget.
What’s your relationship with mountain sports?
I learned to experience the mountains with respect and gratitude. These are the values that I carry with me even today. The mountains are my second home: I go there to feel better, to recover my energy and motivation.
What’s your favorite Karpos product?
The Karpos Race Suit, of course, which I wear in all the Grande Course races, and the garments in the Alagna line. In particular, I always take the Alagna Plus Evo Jacket with me, even in everyday life — to the point where my friends ask me if I don’t have any other jackets to wear (laughs).
