“It just feels good”

When Anna Gasser is not jumping off a ski jump, performing tricks high in the air with her snowboard and winning numerous medals and titles for it, she travels extensively around the world because of her sport. That makes it all the more important for her to do something for the environment in her everyday life, she says. "For me as a winter sportsperson, sustainability is very important because I am very connected to nature and also dependent on it," says the 31-year-old. "I want to preserve the nature I spend so much time in". The professional snowboarder sees the shift to electromobility as a first important step. The trips that are feasible by car thus become more ecological. "I think every little contribution can do something good for the environment," Gasser says. "It just feels good." Wherever possible at public charging stations, the athlete charges her Audi Q4 e-tron with renewable energy. "I wish the car navigation system would show me directly where I can charge my electric car from renewable energy sources," Gasser adds. "I just feel better knowing I'm not emitting CO2 while driving and being more sustainable on the road."

Her friends, who often drive to the mountains with her and the Audi Q4 e-tron, also agree. "What also surprised me is how much space I have in the Audi Q4 e-tron - you wouldn't expect that from such a compact car," says the snowboarder. Often, she continues, there are even four of them on the road. "We often play Tetris with our bags, suitcases and sports equipment, and it's insane how much luggage fits in the car," says Gasser.
