As the crowds gathered across the mountain resort, the atmosphere was electric. The chants of “NINO…!

Lenzerheide, home and training ground of Nino Schurter, is also part of Nino’s greatest successes.

Could N1NO Schurter write the perfect fairytale and also break the World Record here, at home in Lenzerheide?

Of course. The Greatest Of All Time just got even greater, surpassing Julien Absalon and setting a new benchmark that will likely last forever.
