I've seen bobsled runs periodically on tv, but this was the first time I've viewed it up close. Pretty awesome, because the Olympia Bobrun St. Moritz-Celerina is the oldest bobsleigh track in the world and the only one that is naturally iced. At the Horse-Shoe Corner, you can get right up close to the track and see the thick ice walls. I was wondering why there were so many people standing around, until I realized that it was currently the WM2013 (World Championships)! It was cool to see people cheering for their respective countries, especially at the Starthaus Dracula. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of the bobsleds in action, as they zipped by too quickly for my camera. :P read more

This is an extremely exhilarating activity, yet I felt safe the entire time. - Sled is driven by a pro driver, and a pro brakeman that sits in the last position - Two guests sit in the middle - As speed builds up slowly you are never jolted and don't experience shock, just joy - you are allowed to keep your head up (unlike races where you duck for better aerodynamics) and see your run - Helmets, and disposable helmet liners are provided with your fee - You get one free photo and the cost of the video is only CHF 25.00 I had a blast and if I lived any closer I would do this more often. i have deduced one star as all email correspondence to log in and download your video is in German only, despite registering as an English speaking user. read more
