LA LOUPE Garmisch - Partenkirchen No. 1 - 2013/2014

‘There are so many
beautiful things to
discover here, one only
needs the courage to
stray off the beaten
tracks.’
‘There is no other
region that offers as
many opportunities
as Garmisch-
Partenkirchen.’
‘Three wishes for your
future? Health, health,
health!’
L.L. ⁄ Is it possible to get you as a teacher at the skiing school?
F.N. ⁄ Everyone knows that I don’t have time to do skiing courses in
addition to the World Cup races. For the last 5 years I’ve been doing
a special Racing Camp where I train with the children for three
days. During these experiences I learn a lot that can be transported
into the children’s program.
L.L. ⁄ What do you love the most about Garmisch-Partenkirchen?
F.N. ⁄ I was born here, this is my home, my family and friends live
here. I really value my friends; they give me the strength and normality
I need to be able to do tiring races. Apart from that I love our
Bavarian culture and the unique landscape. It’s best to just relax
during a nice dinner with my family or friends.
L.L. ⁄ Would you tell us about two particularly beautiful spots in and
around Garmisch-Partenkirchen?
F.N. ⁄ Geroldsee is one of the most beautiful landscapes I know. Wamberg
is unique and a precious relic from a long time ago. It’s easy to
discover new beauty around here, one only has to have the courage to
disconnect from the mainstream. Only 50 meters off the beaten track
one can have extraordinary experiences in contact with nature.
L.L. ⁄ And where’s a passionate winter athlete’s favorite holiday
destination?
F.N. ⁄ Preferably at home – without any appointments, without a program.
I only come to Werdenfelser Land rarely these days so I simply
like to enjoy the quiet, my friends and my own home.
L.L. ⁄ Do you have an insider tip for Garmisch-Partenkirchen’s
holiday guests?
F.N. ⁄ Where to start? The range is huge, there is hardly any region
that offers so many opportunities. I can only recommend being
curious and to try and discover things away from the big sights,
things that might be a lot more exciting than standing in line with a
hundred other people.

L.L. ⁄ In March 2014 you’ll celebrate your 30th birthday. Do you have
plans for a big party?
F.N. ⁄ Not that I know of!
