She took a silver medal in the slalom at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships in February 2013. She competed for Switzerland at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the alpine skiing events.She made a breakthrough at senior level at a World Cup meeting in Val-d'Isère just before Christmas 2016: she took a seventh place in her first World Cup start in downhill, and took her first podium finish when she finished second in the combined. Later that season at the World Championships in St. Moritz, Gisin took a silver medal in the combined, finishing behind teammate Wendy Holdener in a one-two finish for the Swiss on home snow.
In December 2017, during her first visit to Lake Louise, Gisin took an eighth place in the first of two downhills at the Canadian resort before taking her second World Cup podium in the second downhill the following day, finishing in third. The following week she made a successful return to St. Moritz when she took her first top 10 finish in a super-G, benefiting from an improvement in weather conditions to again finish second as part of a Swiss one-two, this time finishing 0.1 seconds behind Jasmine Flury. She went on to take the gold medal in the combined at the 2018 Winter Olympics, finishing third in the first run of downhill before holding off Mikaela Shiffrin and Holdener in the slalom leg to take the win, following in the footsteps of her sister, who won a gold medal in downhill in the 2014 Games.
