He is well-known for his spins and has been credited with popularising certain spin positions. Lambiel grew up in Saxon, Switzerland, and was born in Martigny, Valais. He has a sister named Silvia and a brother named Christophe.
In June 2004, he received his “maturité” (maturité) in biology and chemistry. He can spin and jump both clockwise and anticlockwise. In November 2002, he underwent knee surgery and began training in Lausanne under the direction of Cédric Monod. Lambiel did not compete in the ISU Grand Prix season of 2004-05, but he returned in time for the 2005 European Championships.
He was ahead of Evgeni Plushenko after the qualifying round and short programme, but Plushenko had to withdraw due to an injury. Lambiel won the Grand Prix Final as well as silver medals in both of his Grand Prix events.
He finished third in the short programme and fourth in the long programme at the 2006 Olympic Games, but he was able to win the silver medal when other competitors faltered. He was considered a favourite to defend his title at the 2006 World Championships, becoming the first Swiss skater to do so. Lambiel won his seventh national title after participating in the Champions on Ice tour following the 2005-06 season.
He was also assigned to the 2006 NHK Trophy, but he backed out due to health concerns. He competed again in the 2007 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, but fell on his triple Axel and only tripled the first jump in his intended quadruple toe loop-double toe loop combination, finishing sixth. At the 2008 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, he won his second European silver medal.
