Committed, passionate and driven by purpose, the PdG ambassadors embody the values, vision and commitment of our organisation. Each of them, through their background and personality, helps bring the PdG vision to life, share its values and strengthen its impact.
Caroline Ulrich
“Representing the PdG means building a bridge between a new generation of athletes and a race that is part of Switzerland’s heritage.”

A four-time world champion in the youth category, double gold medallist at the Youth Olympic Games, as well as European and U23 world champion, she embodies the new generation.

Ambitious and determined, Aurélien will take part in the 2026 edition as part of the Swiss Team, with a clear objective: to win the race.
