She was the overall winner of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in 2014 and 2015.[2][3] She was triple Under-23 Mountain Bike World Champion (2012, 2013 and 2014). At the 2017 UCI World Championships in Cairns she became the elite world champion.
In June 2015, she won the first gold medal for Switzerland in the women's cross country event at the European Games in Baku.[4] Later the same month, she went on to win the Swiss National Road Race Championships.
Neff won the UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships in 2016 and Mountain Bike XCO World Championship in 2017. She also won the European Mountain Bike Championships in August 2018 at Cathkin Braes, just outside of Glasgow.[5]

In July 2021, Neff won the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[7] Her victory, along with her teammates Linda Indergand and Sina Frei winning the bronze and silver medals, marked the first Swiss Olympic podium since 1936 and the first time a nation has won all three medals in a cycling event since 1904.[7]
