Biography

Denis Vaucher was a Swiss soldier and cross-country skier. Unlike Alfred Aufdenblatten and brothers Alfons and Anton Julen, who were all from Zermatt, Vaucher hailed from Bern, where he was a member of Skiclub Bern. Nonetheless, he joined these men in representing Switzerland in the military ski patrol event at the 1924 Chamonix Olympics. The Swiss team won the gold medal.
