Luise Valentin

Danish cyclist Luise Valentin lives in Zürich, Switzerland, where she has access to some of the most beautiful country and gravel roads Europe has to offer. Luise started cycling in 2020 and entered her first race in 2021 – just for fun. A surprisingly good finish gave her the courage to pursue racing more serioulsy. While still a relative newbie to cycling, in 2021, Luise took first place in the Haute Route Alps and third place in the Granfondo Il Lombardia. In 2023 she caught the gravel bug and went on to take third place in the Traka 200km in Girona.

Besides cycling, Luise loves to travel (often with her bike), (lots of) good food, bouldering, spending summer evenings swimming in the Zürich rivers, and winter days cross country skiing or ski touring in the Swiss Alps. In between all this, she also pursues her career as a software engineer.
