On and Gigi show the "power of breaks"
What happens when sports stars take a break? This question is at the heart of the new miniseries «Rest Days,» which On produced in collaboration with Graubünden-based musician Gigi.
Over the summer, Gigi visited four Swiss-Ski athletes and spent a day with each of them away from the daily training routine - between sport, creativity and regeneration.
The starting point of the project is Gigi's personal story: at the end of 2024, the musician suffered a burnout. It was only through conscious breaks and sporting activity that she found her way back into balance - and rediscovered running for herself. Today, she stands for an attitude that sees performance and recovery as an inseparable unit.
The series follows athletes Delphine Darbellay (alpine skiing), Isabelle Lötscher (freestyle snowboarding), Colin Wili (freeskiing) and Niklas Hartweg (biathlon) in moments that would otherwise remain hidden: drawing, making music, bouldering or fly fishing. The episodes show how different recovery can look - and that breaks create space for creativity and mental strength.
The series was produced by Zoomer Agency in collaboration with Gadget Entertainment. Claudio Deller was responsible for the project for On. The visuals were created by creative director and photographer Fabio Martin.
With "Rest Days" On is also launching a long-term partnership with Gigi. As a storyteller and ambassador, she will further develop the connection between music, movement and mindfulness.
