Career

A daughter of a Swedish mother and a German father, [4] Aicher grew up in Sundsvall where she started skiing and joined the local Slalomklubb. Later, she moved with her parents to Engelberg (Switzerland) and then back to Sundsvall. [5]

In March 2019 she won the U16 Slalom of the FIS Children Cup, representing Sweden. [5] Later that year, she took part in her first FIS races. In 2020, she joined the German Ski Association, for the reason of "better training opportunities in the Alps". [3] Making her debut in the Europa Cup in December 2020, she took her first podium in slalom in January 2021. [6]

Three weeks later, Aicher represented Germany at the World Championships, where she won bronze medal in the team event. That November on her eighteenth birthday, she made her World Cup debut in a parallel giant slalom at Lech/Zürs, Austria.
