An essential figure in international ski mountaineering, Thibault Anselmet embodies excellence, rigor, and passion for the mountains. With an impressive record of three victories in the overall World Cup standings and two world champion titles, he is now among the athletes who leave a lasting mark on their discipline.

As a new decisive winter approaches, Thibault approaches the next phase of his career with a clear ambition: the Olympic Games, before refocusing on the World Cup. Goals that match his demands… and his equipment.


High-end equipment for winter competition


In winter competition, every detail counts. To meet the demands of very high level, Thibault relies on reliable, lightweight, and high-performance equipment:

• Shoes: La Sportiva Stratos VI

• Bindings: ATK Bindings Revolution Brake World Cup

• Skis: Atomic Backland 65 UL


A setup designed for pure performance, where precision and lightness are essential to compete at the highest global level.

During more challenging outings in the mountains, Thibault adapts his equipment with:

• Skis Atomic Backland 85 UL

• Bindings ATK Bindings Trofeo

A more versatile setup, ideal for moving in alpine terrain while maintaining an excellent balance between grip, lightness, and safety.


La Sportiva, a key partner for nearly 5 years

Partner of La Sportiva for almost five years, Thibault has seen the Italian brand reach a major milestone, particularly in the world of trail running.

“Today, La Sportiva has succeeded in creating very high-end equipment for trail running. The clothing and shoes are positioned very well compared to other brands.”

In winter, for running on snowy terrain, Thibault regularly uses the Cyklon Cross GTX Black/Yellow. A shoe he describes as ideal for snowy trails, offering effective Gore-Tex protection while maintaining the comfort and dynamism of a summer shoe.

Soon, he will also integrate the new Prodigio Hike GTX, a versatile model that can be used in winter, but also in summer under certain conditions.





In summer, it's time for trail running with the Prodigio Pro

Since this year, summer has become synonymous with continuity and coherence in equipment:

• La Sportiva Prodigio Pro has become Thibault's almost exclusive shoe for summer trail running.

On the carrying side:

• For trail running, he uses the Ultra Trail Vest 10L U White/Cherry Tomato

• For walking… his winter running bag, proof that when the equipment is good, there is no reason to change it.


Atomic and ATK Bindings: reliable values in ski touring

While La Sportiva occupies a central place in his daily life, Thibault also trusts two major players in ski touring:

• Atomic, an essential reference in winter sports, known for its high-performance, reliable ski touring equipment that offers excellent value for money.

• ATK Bindings, which has accompanied him since the beginning of his career. For Thibault, their bindings stand out for their manufacturing quality, comfort, and very high-level mechanisms, both for racing and for the mountains.


Performance, trust, and loyalty

Over the seasons, Thibault Anselmet has built much more than a simple partnership with his equipment suppliers, especially with La Sportiva: a relationship based on trust, innovation, and the constant pursuit of performance.

As a crucial winter approaches, one thing is certain: with such a level of demand and equipment that meets his ambitions, Thibault is ready to push the limits once again.
