What does a ski racer do in summer?
He likes to go hiking, preferably in his home town of Annaberg-Lungötz. There, on the Stuhlalm, Marcel Hirscher spent his childhood. It's a place he's drawn to over and over again.
A very special experience for him was the climbing tour to the Bischofsmütze. With an experienced guide Marcel Hirscher conquered the probably most striking summit of the Gosaukamm.

VAN DEER by Marcel Hirscher
Marcel Hirscher is a living skiing legend – but after retiring, skiing hasn’t left him cold – quite the opposite. The most successful skier of all time goes under the ski builders and founded the ski brand VAN DEER together with his team, in which his brother Leon - a trained ski builder - also plays an important part.
