The pair started dating in 2014 and got engaged in June 2024 at Lake Garda, where the couple have been living since 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The wedding comes after what was arguably the most difficult year of their relationship.<\/strong> In December 2025, Gisin suffered a horrific crash during downhill training in St. Moritz, Switzerland, that left the skier requiring several surgeries, including a cervical spine surgery, knee, and hand surgery. This put her career \u2014 and far more importantly, her health \u2014 in jeopardy, and forced the 32-year-old to miss the 2026 Olympic Games. Gisin is an all-rounder, meaning she competes in both tech and speed disciplines. She has podiumed in all four key disciplines and has won Olympic gold in 2018 and 2022 in Alpine combined (prior to 2026, Alpine combined was an individual event). De Aliprandini is a giant slalom specialist, who will occasionally also compete in super-G. The 35-year-old from Trentino won silver in giant slalom at the 2021 World Championships in Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo, Italy, and has represented Italy at four Winter Olympics. The couple met in 2014 in Ushuaia, Argentina, during a summer training camp.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/snowbrains.com\/lindsey-vonn-wins-downhill-world-cup-at-corviglia-st-moritz-switzerland\/\"><strong><em>[PHOTOS] Lindsey Vonn Wins Downhill World Cup at Corviglia-St. Moritz, Switzerland<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Since her crash, Gisin has focused almost entirely on rehabilitation.<\/strong> Speaking on the red carpet at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluewin.ch\/en\/sport\/ski\/michelle-gisin-i-was-allowed-to-make-very-few-turns-and-it-was-wonderful-3231413.html\">Swiss Sports Awards<\/a> in May, she said she is making \u201cslow but steady progress\u201d and is feeling better all the time.

Hiking up the mountain on touring skis also works very well.\u201d Cycling, however, remains a challenge due to lingering issues involving her wrist, shoulder, and neck. Despite the setbacks, Gisin revealed she has already been back on snow. \u201cI\u2019ve already been able to make a few turns and it was wonderful,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_247216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-247216\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-247216 lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAMYAQMAAABhQcT6AAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAFVJREFUeNrtwQENAAAAwqD3T20ON6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD4M+pgAAff44MIAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" alt=\"St Moritz\" width=\"640\" height=\"792\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?resize=640%2C792&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?w=1170&amp;ssl=1 1170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?resize=970%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C950&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?resize=600%2C742&amp;ssl=1 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"792\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-247216\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DBC54FBA-6C2F-46A1-866D-F0D71F5CE661-min-1.jpeg?resize=640%2C792&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"St Moritz\" width=\"640\" height=\"792\" data-eio=\"l\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-247216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The race course at Corviglia, St. Moritz, Switzerland | Image: St Moritz Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>While her future remains undecided, retirement is not currently on Gisin\u2019s mind.<\/strong> \u201cAs long as I don\u2019t say otherwise, I\u2019m an active skier,\u201d she said. \u201cMy big goal is to get back on the snow.\u201d The Swiss star hopes to begin more serious ski training during July and August before making a final decision in the autumn about whether to return to World Cup racing for the 2026-27 season. \u201cThe first goal now is to be fully fit in the summer,\u201d Gisin explained. \u201cThen I want to decide on the skis in proper training and not just slide around a bit.
