Ice Sports

Cresta Run. On the world's one and only Cresta Run, riders on skeletons (metal toboggans) rush headfirst down a winding ice channel from St. Moritz to Celerina, accelerating to about 90 mph. You can watch the runs every morning from the path or the roof of the Junction Hut. If you'd like to try the run, contact the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club. It's a private club, but they do allow temporary memberships that will give you five runs. The Cresta is open from late December to early March. Note that the run is not open to women, except during special Ladies' Events. St. Moritz, Graubünden, 7500. www.cresta-run.com.
