❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the opening season and how do I get to the Olympia Bobrun?

The track is usually open from late December to early March, depending on ice conditions. To get there, you can take the local bus or walk from the center of St. Moritz; check the exact operating days on its official website.

How much does admission or the bob ride experience cost?

Watching training sessions is usually free, but a Guest Ride costs around CHF 269. This adrenaline-filled experience includes the ride, helmet, return transport, and a certificate; you can book your spot directly here.

How much time do I need to visit this attraction?

If you are only going to watch the races, one hour is enough to enjoy the atmosphere. If you have booked a Guest Ride, allow at least 2 hours for check-in, preparation, the 75-second descent, and the final ceremony.

Why is this St. Moritz track so historically famous?

It is legendary for being the oldest bobsleigh track in the world, dating from 1890, and the only one still made of natural ice, rebuilt by hand every year without artificial refrigeration. It hosted two Winter Olympic Games, in 1928 and 1948, making it a living monument to the sport.

What is the best time of day to visit the track?

Mornings are ideal, generally between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., as this is when training sessions and races take place before the sun warms the ice too much. January and February offer the most spectacular snow conditions and atmosphere.

Is the Olympia Bobrun accessible for people with reduced mobility?

The start area and the finish area in Celerina have easier access, but the path along the track is covered in snow and may be difficult for wheelchairs. It is recommended to contact the organization in advance to arrange specific assistance.

What other attractions can I visit near the track?

Right next to it is the famous Cresta Run, and just a few minutes away is the frozen lake of St. Moritz, where snow polo is played. At the end of the track in Celerina, you can explore that charming village or take the train back.

What practical tip is essential for enjoying the visit?

Wear sturdy footwear with good non-slip soles, as you will be walking on packed snow, and dress in layers because the temperature drops sharply in the shade. If you are doing the descent, do not forget warm gloves.
