Biography

Jornet was born in Sabadell, Catalonia, Spain near Barcelona. He grew up in Refugi de Cap de Rec, a mountain hut at 2000 meters in the Pyrenees at the cross-country Lles ski resort in Lles de Cerdanya, where his father was a hut keeper and mountain guide.[3] At the age of three he climbed Tuc de Molières, a three-thousander in the Pyrenees. By the age of five he climbed Aneto 3404m (11,168feet), the highest mountain in the Pyrenees, and a year later he climbed his first four-thousander, the Breithorn (4164m (13,661feet)) on the Switzerland - Italy border.[8]

Jornet studied at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia.[9]

Jornet has been recognised as an elite athlete since 2004. by the Catalan and Spanish sports councils (Catalan; Valencian: Consell Català de l’Esport and Spanish; Castilian: Consejo Superior de Deportes).[10] In 2005 he set a course record of 2:30:57 for the race to the 4015m (13,173feet) summit of the Dôme de Neige des Écrins.[11] He was World Champion in the Buff SkyRunner World Series in 2007,[12] 2008 and 2009[13] becoming the youngest athlete to win this honour.[12]

Personal life

His sister Naila Jornet Burgada and his wife Emelie Forsberg from Sweden also compete in ski mountaineering and skyrunning events.[14]

On 7 September 2013 Jornet and Forsberg had to be rescued by the "Peloton de Gendarmerie de haute montagne" (PGHM, alpine rescue squad) at 3,800 meters of altitude (ésperon Frendo) while attempting to climb the north face of the Aiguille du Midi in the Mont Blanc massif, wearing trail running shoes with crampons[15] and a body stocking.

Since February 2016 Jornet and Forsberg have been living in Rauma, Norway.[16]

Jornet and Forsberg have two children, born in March 2019 and April 2021.[17]
