20 years of sharing and passion for Nordic skiing and biathlon.
Somfy's roots in the French Alps, the attraction of mountain sports for its employees and values of performance, precision, commitment and team spirit shared with this challenging sport of biathlon have led to a long-term partnership.
This passion shared by Somfy employees is demonstrated through support for the French Ski Federation, as well as through individual sponsorships of talented biathletes and skiers, along with promising young athletes.
Somfy is focusing its support particularly on developing special partnerships with biathletes Julia Simon, Eric Perrot, Lou Jeanmonnot and Benjamin Daviet, a multi-medalist member of the French Paralympic Nordic ski and biathlon team, who was voted top IPC (International Paralympic Committee) international athlete of 2019.
They are all preparing for the 2024/2025 season which starts on 30 November 2024 with the first round of the World Cup in IDRE FJAELL, Sweden.
Go behind the scenes of the season and follow closely the performances of our biathletes on the brand's social networks @Instagram and @Facebook.
Sponsoring Nordic skiing and its talents
A partner of French Ski Federation (FFS), the Somfy brand has sponsored the French biathlon team since 2005, and Nordic skiing (biathlon, cross-country, jumping, Nordic combined) since 2014. In addition to the visibility this gives the brand, the Group is also present at most of the major competitions, supporting athletes.
SUPPORTING ATHLETES DURING AND AFTER THEIR CAREERS
Young athletes who join Somfy Ski Talents benefit from personalized support. If they wish, they can carry out an internship with various Somfy departments—including HR, marketing, and finance—to learn about the profession and prepare for their retired -athlete career.
