History of origin of the minipic team
Convinced of the idea to support athletes on their way to the top, the sponsorship with Camille Balanche, specialized in MTB-Downhill, started. After a successful partnership of several years, minipic decided to support more than one athlete in the future. The vision of a minipic team representing the cantonal and the linguistic diversity of Switzerland was born. The foundation stone was laid with the start of the partnership with Livio Simonet. In the meantime, the minipic team has grown to eleven athletes from different winter and summer sports who are supported on their way to the top.
minipic gives you that kick

minipic has become a traditional Swiss meat snack and is a practical source of energy for any kind of adventure. Whether you are hiking in the swiss mountain landscape, skiing in the alps or relaxing by the pool – minipic will always give you that extra kick! But that is not enough. We also want to give our minipic team that extra kick. So, minipic is definitely keeping its fingers crossed and hoping for that kick onto the podium.
