Fabrice von Grünigen (born 30 July 2001) is a Swiss para snowboarder.
Von Grünigen was born in Saanen. He competed in amateur snowboarding and had to have his forefoot amputated and his lower leg reconstructed as a result of an accident he sustained on a high-altitude tour when he was 18. After getting back on his board, national coach Silvan Hofer became aware of von Grünigen through the efforts of a neighbor.[1]
