Pat Burgener
Pat Burgener is a professional snowboarder and musician from Switzerland.
Gifted with an extraordinary talent on snow since his childhood, he joined the Swiss
national team at the age of 14. His ambition had opened the doors to the top flight and
catapulted him into the top 3 on many occasions.
However, fate spares no man, and like many top-level athletes Pat got injured. After a
snowboarding injury in 2014, Pat used the time off the snow to work on his second
passion, music. He teamed up with his brother Max and a childhood friend to create his
own band.
Meeting a great success with his first singles, Pat played at world-class venues like the
Montreux Jazz Festival, Sion Sous les Etoiles or the Gürten Festival.
His come back on snow has been full of high notes including two podiums at the World
Championships in 2017 and 2019 and an amazing 5th place at the 2018 Winter Olympics
in PyeongChang. ‘Music has been helping me to find my inner balance, which is the key
when it comes to become a better version of yourself in any fields’ Pat says.
Since 2014, Pat released 4 EPs totalling more than 10 million streams on Spotify.
In 2022, Pat will be back with his debut album, marking a significant milestone in his
musical career. Its first single « Work It Out », released end of January, met instant
success among the media and the fans, from being awarded Song of the Day on the
largest Swiss radio SRF3 to reaching 100’000 streams in 2 weeks.
On the snowboarding side, now that the 2022 Olympics are behind, Pat already shifted
his focus on the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano, planning to do whatever it takes to reach
his Olympic podium dream.
