The Olympia Bob Run St. Moritz - Celerina is located at 1800 m above sea level and is not only the oldest bobsleigh run, but also the only natural ice run in the world. Every year, South Tyrolean track workers recreate the run within three weeks. They model the track entirely by hand and therefore without the use of large-scale machinery. This 1722-meter-long ice sculpture in the middle of pure nature has been delighting athletes, fans, spectators and holidaymakers for more than 130 years. In its history, the Bob Run has already hosted two Winter Olympics and 24 World Championships. Anyone who would like to try out what 4G centrifugal force feels like for themselves can experience an "adrenaline rush with tradition" in a four-man racing bobsleigh - safely sandwiched between the pilot and brakeman - on a guest bobsleigh ride. During the summer, a hiking trail is marked along the bobsleigh run with information boards where you can learn all sorts of curious and interesting facts about its history.
Since British tourists spent the winter in St. Moritz in the mid-1880s whizzing through the icy streets on their bellies on sledges, much has changed in this sister discipline of the skeleton, but it is still very British. It starts with its name - “Cresta Run” - and ends with the English-speaking race commentator. In between are ten tricky bends on the natural ice track, around 12,000 runs per winter season and speeds of up to 140 km/h, which the driver can reach on his flat toboggan. Beginners are very welcome.
