ROMANA –
AT HOME IN THE MOUNTAINS
Romana feels most at home where others stop to catch their breath: in the mountains, on the trail, in the first light of day. Whether she’s on skis, on a road bike or roped into an alpine route – she lives for movement in nature. A spirit of adventure, courage, and a deep connection to the mountains define her journey.
POP EYES has been by her side for years – with stylish, functional gear that delivers what it promises. Her favorites: the JAMIE ski goggles for crystal-clear vision in every terrain, and the FRIEDA sports sunglasses, combining performance with effortless style.
Some of her personal highlights include summiting Großglockner, a sunrise ski tour to the Olperer, and the legendary Valluga North descent – but for Romana, every moment spent outside is a gift. Her goals? Completing the Seven Summits of the Alps and competing in an Ironman.
Romana stands for endurance, focus, and a genuine love of the outdoors – always with open eyes for the beauty of the journey.
