Achim Vogt (born December 7, 1970 in Balzers ) is a former Liechtenstein ski racer .

Vogt started in a World Cup race for the first time in 1989 . He celebrated the biggest success of his career on December 3, 1994, when he the giant slalom of Tignes won. This success came as a surprise, as Vogt had only been able to place in the top 20 of a race five times.

The victory remained a one-time affair. Numerous injuries prevented confirmation. In the following years Vogt was only able to place in the top ten twice. During his career, Vogt took part in the Winter Olympics four times . He achieved his best placement in 1994 in Hafjell , where he was 21st in the giant slalom. In 1995 he was voted Sportsman of the Year in Liechtenstein .

Vogt ended his career in 2004. Today he works as a ski designer and developer at the Swiss ski company Stöckli .
