It is not unusual for people to become \u201chigh flyers\u201d here: In famous curves like the Shuttlecock, they sometimes lose contact with the ground &#8211; or rather the mirror-like ice under the runners of their skeleton.<\/p>\n<p>And the Skeleton? Cresta is the original form of this sport. This means that the Cresta Run is the mother of both Skeleton and Cresta. On the Cresta Run the riders ride on their stomach and head first, steering with the use of their bodies and steel spikes on special shoes. And this sport is practised here on the Cresta Run, which is formed anew every year from snow and ice, and passion\u2026 Passion for speed, for tradition and for the sensational.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbdtlkw1-5d8c98249818567bd9a1a4151179c5b2\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-lbdtlkw1-5d8c98249818567bd9a1a4151179c5b2{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-lbdtlkw1-5d8c98249818567bd9a1a4151179c5b2 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbdi77tm-ff88e78c30180e10c3bcf92e73960ae1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">FACTS &#038;

In 1889, he also commissioned the construction of the first multi-seater steel bobsleigh in St.\u202fMoritz.

was praised as early as 1894, in just its tenth year. The use of the English language is no coincidence: the Cresta Run was initially planned and built by British winter guests, or more precisely: by the five members of the &#8220;Outdoor Amusements Commitee of the Kulm Hotel&#8221; in St.\u202fMoritz.<\/p>\n<p>Through the Cresta Run, these gentlemen not only intend to create a pastime in the form of a sporting competition, they also want to outdo their big tobogganing rival, the town of Davos. And they succeed: The Cresta Run becomes the longest and most challenging track anywhere in the Alps. The track does not follow an existing road course, but is specially formed &#8211; year after year \u2013 out of the winter landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Even today, the Cresta Run is built over several weeks and is usually opened during Advent. As in the early days, the &#8220;St Moritz Tobogganing Club&#8221; is responsible for the construction, and as in the early days, a well-coordinated team continues to shape the icy sculpture today. First, the lower two thirds of the track are built (from the starting point at the &#8220;Junction&#8221; to the Finish), then the the upper third (from the \u201cTop\u201d Start to \u201cJunction\u201d) is constructed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-xcwek-a669b2b611de0fe6e6feecdf777117c2 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-35  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='evolution'  class='avia-section av-lbdtqxwe-3fd31867cb64b7f241c48e2d8ac17d43 alternate_color avia-section-huge avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-37  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  bob_entwicklung avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1506'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-831rw-86292bc3ac9b89b5ece1ee0c3eefc2ce av_one_full  avia-builder-el-38  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbdtr6r7-3e540c3a0ded47ac8ff7d6ece69dbc98 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">THE EVOLUTION OF THE CRESTA SPORT<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-content-slider-element-container av-lbdttox0-59bd7b2dfd67e8f1038854bdfbe25144 avia-content-slider-element-slider avia-content-slider avia-smallarrow-slider avia-content-slider-active avia-content-slider-odd  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-nav-arrows-visible av-nav-dots-visible av-no-slider-navigation av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-endless avia-content-slider2' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:30}\"><div class='avia-smallarrow-slider-heading  no-content-slider-heading '><div class='new-special-heading'>&nbsp;<\/div><div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls' ><a href='#prev' class='prev-slide ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  tabindex='-1'>Previous<\/a><a href='#next' class='next-slide ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  tabindex='-1'>Next<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-content-slider-inner\"><div class=\"slide-entry-wrap\"><section class='slide-entry av-lbdttodb-d60612e47a50f11f490b4c744b2bbe94 flex_column av_fullwidth post-entry slide-entry-overview slide-loop-1 slide-parity-odd  first'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Slide 1<\/h3><div class='slide-entry-excerpt entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<p>1885: Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach design the first motorcycle.

This classic also serves as a beginner&#8217;s machine. The so-called &#8220;Flat Top&#8221;, on the other hand, is a relatively recent development. It comes without a seat and allows higher speeds. On the Cresta Run, riders can reach speeds of up to 140 km\/h.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-eyh6k-94d40239e0692e6e9c15994eb046fee8\">\n.avia-section.av-eyh6k-94d40239e0692e6e9c15994eb046fee8{\nmargin-top:100px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='timeline'  class='avia-section av-eyh6k-94d40239e0692e6e9c15994eb046fee8 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  timeline_title avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1506'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbw8slfb-134f512abddc84f266112cd6ecfb1398\">\n.flex_column.av-lbw8slfb-134f512abddc84f266112cd6ecfb1398{\npadding:0 0 0px 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-lbw8slfb-134f512abddc84f266112cd6ecfb1398 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-42  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lbw3nr0k-1414173480e34f1c9182aa2d1686d399 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Timeline<br \/>\nCresta Run St.\u202fMoritz<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lg0vs5an-ccaffa6c5052834f8805a8c54af25273 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">How did the sport of Cresta and the Cresta Run develop in St.\u202fMoritz?
