(For the racehorse, see Cresta Run (horse).) The Cresta Run is a natural ice skeleton racing toboggan track in eastern Switzerland. Located in the winter sports town of St. Moritz, the 1.2125 km (0.753 mi) run is one of the few in the world dedicated entirely to skeleton. It was built in 1884 near the hamlet of Cresta in the municipality of Celerina/Schlarigna by the Outdoor Amusement Committee of the Kulm Hotel and the people of St. Moritz. The committee members were Major William Henry Bulpett (founder of the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club (SMTC)), George Robertson, Charles Digby Jones (Robertson and Digby Jones planned the proposed course), C. Metcalfe, and J. Biddulph. It has continued as a partnership to this day between the SMTC, founded in 1887, and the people of St. Moritz.

  • Cresta Run eller bara Cresta är en vintersport som är en föregångare till skeleton. Cresta körs enbart kring den ort, ortsdelen i Celerina/Schlarigna i Schweiz, där sporten uppkom. I grunden det som i dag är skeleton genomförs Cresta på en naturisbana. Det första loppet kördes under vintern 1884-1885 av en grupp brittiska vinterturister under ledning av majoren W. H. Bulpetts. Än idag är engelska språket på banan och engelska namn på banans olika etapper. Banan är på 1 214 meter, och går mellan Sankt Moritz och Celerina. (sv)
