The Cresta Run is an iconic natural-ice skeleton racing track located in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Built annually from scratch using snow and ice, it is one of the few remaining natural-ice tracks in the world. The run descends from the town to the valley, with steep banks and high speeds that challenge even the most experienced riders. Spectators can watch from designated areas along the course, feeling the rush as riders zoom past at over 80 mph. The Cresta Run is not just for elite athletes; amateurs can also take part in the 'Cresta Run Experience' with proper training and equipment. It's a thrilling attraction that embodies the adventurous spirit of St. Moritz.
