In the absence of Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter, Grob made the difference in the top, technically demanding section of the course. She finished 42 hundredths ahead of Durrer, who held the title in the supreme discipline from 2021 to 2023. After a difficult season, Joana Hählen missed out on the podium in fifth place by almost a second.
Last year's surprising winner Fabienne Wenger was absent in Valais due to injury. The 19-year-old missed the entire winter due to a torn cruciate ligament.
For Grob, the two-time junior world champion in the downhill, this is her first elite title. Two years ago, she was Swiss junior champion in the giant slalom in Davos.
