Alpine Pulse – Cornelia Hütter: Balancing Ambition, Setbacks and Austrian Skiing Success
Dec 23, 2025·Alpine Skiing
Fresh off her first win of the season in Val d’Isère’s Downhill, Cornelia Hütter (AUT/Head) joins Alpine Pulse for an episode that dives deep into the story behind the triumph.
From humble beginnings near Graz—where her love for winter sports started not on skis, but on a snowboard—Conny shares how she transitioned into the fiercely competitive world of ski racing. She opens up about the challenges of growing up far from big mountains, the defining moments that shaped her relentless work ethic, and the motto that drives her: “Von nix kommt nix” (“You can’t make something out of nothing”).
This candid conversation explores the highs and lows of her career, including the patience and resilience required to come back stronger after serious injuries.
Adding a personal twist, fellow Austrian Mirjam Puchner jumps in with fun questions about Conny’s love for vintage cars, her favorite way to get down a mountain, and why—despite loving animals—she’s always kept her distance from dogs.
Whether you’re a fan of winter sports or simply love stories of passion and perseverance, this episode promises an honest and uplifting look at what truly matters most to Cornelia Hütter—on and off the mountain.
