Donnet scored his first World Cup points on December 13, 1978, when he surprisingly won the slalom of the 3-tre races in Madonna di Campiglio ahead of Peter Lüscher and Christian Neureuther . In the course of the 1978/79 season he achieved another four placements among the top ten, which earned him tenth place in the slalom World Cup. In the following season 1979/80 he no longer reached this level, a tenth place remained his best result. Since he could not qualify for the 1980 Winter Olympics , he announced his resignation at the end of the season.
Donnet runs a hotel in Morgins and was president of the ski school there for 25 years.
