Vergé-Dépré

Anouk Vergé-Dépré is a Swiss professional beach volleyball player who has successfully blended multiple passions while building an impressive athletic career.

Born on February 11, 1992, in Bern, Anouk was raised in a multicultural family, fluent in both German and French. Her father hails from Guadeloupe, a French Caribbean island, while her mother’s roots lie in the Swiss mountains. Anouk’s journey into sports began at an early age, starting as a ball girl while watching her parents play. Today, she is one of the top players in beach volleyball. She has played all positions, block, defense, left and right side, with a career-high world ranking of #4.

« Being in the sand and competing playfully with friends always let me forget what was around me and gave me confidence and a safe space. »

Anouk had her breakthrough when she won her first gold medal on the highest international level in 2019. She became European Champion in 2020 and wrote Swiss history together with Joana Mäder when they won bronze at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. They were the first Swiss and only the second European team to win an Olympic medal in women's beach volleyball.

2025 Anouk embarked on a sister's journey. Together with Zoé Vergé-Dépré she's competing on the Pro Beach Tour and targeting the World Championship in Australia.
