Noel Zwischenbrugger (born 24 March 2001) is an Austrian World Cup alpine ski racer who specializes in giant slalom.
Zwischenbrugger was raised in the village of Mellau. He debuted as a junior on 1 December 2017. He was removed from the Austrian national skiing team due to a lack of results in 2020, but continued to train on his own.[1] He gave his debut at the FIS Alpine Ski Europa Cup in December 2021, but shortly afterwards suffered a tear of the syndesmotic ligament.[2]
On 9 December 2023, Zwischenbrugger gave his World Cup Debut at Val-d'Isère, where he immediately scored points, finishing 13th with the best time in the second run.[3] His debut only came about because the originally qualified Joshua Sturm had to withdraw due to illness.
Zwischenbrugger's uncle Jan Zwischenbrugger is a soccer player.[4]
