Ci sono i Bieler e i Bieller, i primi di Gressoney, i secondi della Val d'Ayas (Champoluc). C'è Franco, attore della Valanga, che da anni conduce il suo hotel Alpenrose a Gressoney la Trinitè, cugino primo di Wanda, velocista Azzurra, oggi nel consiglio comunale. Nessuna parentela invece con Tiziano Bieller (due "l"), bravissimo gigantista ma una carriera stroncata sul più bello per una gamba distrutta!
