ANDREAS REITERER

Born:11/10/92 ITALY

Bio

My name is Andreas Reiterer and I come from Avelengo, a small town above Merano where we manage the hotel with my family; I work in the kitchen. When I was young I did Alpine skiing competitions, then I twice broke the cruciate ligament and so I stopped on skis. At 22 I started running, first with only ascent races and I liked it immediately. After a year I tried to stretch the distances and so I found my favorite races. I like the sky world with steep climbs and technical descents.
