This footage shows two sisters celebrating their respective divorces by going skiing in the Swiss Alps in their wedding dresses.

Sandra and Andrea Vonlanthen, 31 and 30, braved the cold of the Saanenmoeser Pass near the Swiss ski resort of Gstaad to celebrate their singlehood in style.

Sandra separated from her husband eight years ago, while Andrea, who, like her sister, hails from the Swiss capital Bern, parted ways with her hubby in 2020.

They both decided to get their money’s worth out of their pricey wedding dresses and put them to good use on the Swiss slopes on Monday, 28th February.

Sandra told Newsflash: “The idea of ​​skiing in my wedding dress came up spontaneously last winter because my sister’s divorce was only a few months before that.”

She added: “The wedding dresses were way too pretty to be gathering dust in the wardrobe, so we thought they needed one last performance so we could celebrate the divorce and my sister’s 30th birthday at the same time.”

Sandra revealed that both she and her sister are happily divorced and are no longer in contact with their ex-husbands.

Of the sisters’ celebration, Sandra explained: “It has nothing to do with humiliating or embarrassing our ex-husbands.”

And when asked about how other skiers reacted when they saw the pair in their wedding dresses on the slopes, Sandra said: “Most skiers guessed that we were either having a wedding party or a hen do. No one suspected that we were celebrating our divorces. And very few believed that we were sober on the slopes.

“The reactions on the ski slope were all very positive, and the skiers had a lot of fun taking photos with us. And although there were almost only negative comments on social media, my Facebook account was flooded with messages and enquiries the next day, all of which were only positive.”

After managing to bring the dresses home in tiptop shape, the sisters are now getting ready for their next adventure.

Sandra said: “Now let’s think about what the next crazy wedding-dress act could be.”
