Bernadette started her World Cup journey in March 2008 when she was 18 years old. Her first big success in the World Cup came in March 2013 at Lenzerheide, where she finished second in a slalom race. This was her first time on the podium, which means finishing in the top three.
Just nine months later, in December 2013, she earned another podium finish, coming in third place at Courchevel. During the 2014 season, Bernadette and her sister Marlies even shared the podium twice! This happened at Courchevel and later at Kranjska Gora.

However, she unfortunately did not finish the second run. In the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, she finished 7th in the slalom and 24th in the giant slalom.
She also competed in three World Ski Championships. Her best results were 9th in slalom at the 2019 Championships and 10th in slalom at the 2017 Championships.
