Originating from Morges in Switzerland, Louis Margot, 32, is an accomplished athlete and a true adventurer at heart. After years of rowing at the international level and undertaking long cycling expeditions, he decided to follow his impulse and embark on the challenge of a lifetime: “Human Impulse.”
Guided by the same values as the challenge he has undertaken, Louis aims to demonstrate that even the boldest dreams, which may sometimes seem impossible, can become a reality with determination, courage, and an optimistic outlook.
Through his adventure, he hopes to inspire the younger generation to reflect on their desires and pursue what truly matters to them.
Sports has always been more than a passion for Louis, it is a necessity. After a few years of practicing judo, he joins the Forward Rowing Club of Morges at the age of 13. It is through starting rowing that he discovers his desire to push his limits.
After winning his first medal at the Swiss Championships in 2008, everything quickly falls into place as he is selected for the Swiss national team, followed by a world title at the Junior World Championships (Czech Republic, 2010) in the men’s four event.
Several years later, his studies at Cambridge provided him with the opportunity to join the legendary Cambridge University Boat Club and participate in the Boat Race, an annual event held in London that opposes Cambridge and Oxford.
Continuously seeking sporting challenges, he also develops a passion for cycling. He embarks on several long journeys, including one that takes him all the way to Istanbul. It is during this journey of over 3000 km that the idea of taking on an even more incredible challenge came to his mind.
At the age of 16, he clinches the bronze medal at the Swiss Championships with the Forward Rowing Club Morges in the coxless four event.
He obtains this title with the Swiss team in the men’s four event at the 2010 Junior World Rowing Championships held in the Czech Republic.
He embarks on a bike journey that takes him all the way to Istanbul. By covering over 3000 km and raising funds, he supports Cancer Research during his journey.
He joins the legendary Cambridge University Boat Club and participates in the Boat Race (Oxford vs Cambridge) with the Goldie crew.
In late summer 2022, Louis and his cousin Antoine covered over 1000 km, passing through the legendary Kotor Serpentine, on their cycling journey.
On September 3, 2023, Louis set off from Morges on his human-powered journey around the world named ‘Human Impulse’ !
Colombier Primary School, Beausobre College, and Marcelin Gymnasium shaped his compulsory education journey. He decides to pursue his studies in mechanical engineering at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), with a third year of Bachelor’s degree in Australia at the University of Sydney.
With a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in hand, he enrolls for an additional year of studies at the University of Cambridge, where he obtains a Master’s degree in Nuclear Energy.
Upon returning to Switzerland, Louis ventures into the field of solar energy, taking on roles such as project manager in the industry.
Inspiring the youth to follow their own impulse while working for the fundamental rights of all children.
