Cornelia Hütter comes from Kumberg and attended the Schladming ski trade school . After reaching the age limit, she took part in FIS races for the first time in winter 2007/2008 . At the European Youth Olympic Festival 2009 in Szczyrk , she finished 14th in giant slalom and 28th in slalom. After several podium places in FIS races, it was first used in the European Cup in March 2010 . In the same year, after a year in the youth team, she was promoted to the B-team of the Austrian Ski Association . In winter 2010/2011 Hütter achieved her first top 10 placements in the European Cup. After she had already won three medals at Austrian youth championships, she celebrated her first major international success by winning two bronze medals in Downhill and Super-G at the 2011 Junior World Championships in Crans-Montana . Shortly afterwards, the 2010/2011 season came to an end for her, as she fell in the European Cup Super G in Lélex and suffered knee injuries (torn inner ligament as well as meniscus and cartilage tears) and a broken nose. In December 2010 she had to take a break for several weeks due to an injury. In summer 2011 she took part in motorsport events ( mountain rally and circuit races ) away from the ski slopes .
At the beginning of December 2011, Hütter was used for the first time in the World Cup on the slopes of Lake Louise . Until the end of the 2011/2012 season, she stayed in her few World Cup starts without winning any points. On January 11, 2012, she achieved her first podium in the European Cup when she was third on the downhill from Bad Kleinkirchheim . At the Junior World Championships in 2012 , she finished 20th in the Super-G after she was eliminated in the giant slalom in the first round. On December 12, 2012, Hütter celebrated her first victory in the European Cup when she won the downhill run from St. Moritz at the same time as the Slovenian Vanja Brodnik . One month later, on January 12, 2013, Hütter won World Cup points for the first time in her fourth World Cup race, when she surprisingly finished tenth in the downhill from St. Anton with start number 38. In the downhill run in Val-d'Isère on December 21, 2013, Hütter took a podium for the first time in her career and came third. With this place, she slipped into the ÖOC line-up for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi . There she prevailed in the internal qualification and contested the Olympic downhill, in which she finished 24th.
The winter of 2014/15 was very successful for Hütter. In the first races at Lake Louise, she finished in the top ten three times. In January she remained consistently close to the top of the world, especially in the Super-Gs, with fourth place in Cortina and fifth place in St. Moritz. At the 2015 World Championships in Vail / Beaver Creek , she almost caused a surprise when she finished fourth in the Super-G and missed the bronze medal by just eleven hundredths of a second. In the World Cup downhill she finished 10th. After the world championship, 4th place in the Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was added. At the end of the season she was Austrian junior downhill champion, whereupon the ÖSV accepted her into the national team. Hütter was able to maintain the very high level in the speed disciplines in the 2015/16 season and finished all three races in Lake Louise on the podium at the beginning of December. In the Super-G in Lenzerheide , she achieved her first World Cup victory on March 12, 2016.
During training for the speed races in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee on January 4, 2017, Hütter suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament and a tear in the inner and outer meniscus. So she was out for the rest of the season. On December 1, she won her first race after her comeback with the descent from Lake Louise. In December 2018 she finished second behind Nicole Schmidhofer in Lake Louise.
