She finally managed to return to the top of the world at the beginning of the 2020/21 season, when she finished ninth in the Levi slalom. At the end of the season, she was able to win the Swiss championship title in the slalom for the second time after 2017 at the end of March. In the giant slalom she finished in 3rd place.[2]
