Several of alpine skiing’s leading nations, including Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the United States and Norway, have set the early benchmark for the 2026/27 season by unveiling national teams that balance established World Cup success with emerging talent. They are now joined by France, Finland and a growing list of federations, as the international field continues to come into focus ahead of the upcoming Alpine World Cup campaign.
French momentum continues through Miradoli, Rassat and Noël
Across a campaign marked by several strong individual performances, the French Ski Federation enters the new season with a balanced mix of Olympic success and World Cup breakthroughs. The women’s team is led by Olympic Super-G silver medalist Romane Miradoli, who secured France’s only alpine skiing medal at Milano Cortina 2026, alongside experienced World Cup skiers Laura Gauche and Camille Cerutti in the speed group. On the technical side, the women’s squad is guided by Marion Chevrier, who delivered her best World Cup season to date, finishing 11th in the slalom standings.
On the World Cup circuit, France also collected key highlights, including three victories in total — one from Clément Noël and a maiden breakthrough season for Paco Rassat, who claimed his first career win in Gurgl before adding a second triumph in Adelboden. Overall, the French team recorded three second-place finishes and five third-place results across the men’s and women’s squads.
On the men’s side, the speed group is anchored by Nils Allègre and Cyprien Sarrazin, whose return to the World Cup circuit next season is eagerly anticipated. In the technical events, Clément Noël and Paco Rassat remain the standard-bearers, but the spotlight also falls on young Alban Elezi Cannaférina, who capped a breakthrough campaign with his first career podium in Giant Slalom in Schladming.
