Biography
Sacha Balicco grew up in Les 7 Laux, where the mountains were always close and snowboarding quickly became part of everyday life. He started skiing at three before switching to a snowboard at eight, inspired by his older brother and the freedom the board offered. Riding his home terrain shaped his style early on. Powder days with friends, natural lines, and long days on the mountain became the foundation for everything that followed. Today, Sacha approaches snowboarding with the same mindset he started with: ride with good people, enjoy the process, and keep progressing. Whether he’s chasing freeride lines or filming projects, the goal stays simple - spend as much time as possible in the mountains doing what he loves.
“Being out there with my friends doing what I love most is all the motivation I need.”– Sacha Balicco
