The unique natural ice rink in the Upper Engadin becomes an open-air museum. Here, where the world's first international bobsleigh races took place in 1897, homage is paid to the fascinating sport of racing with sledges.

The Walk of Fame leads from the info point at the start along the legendary Olympic bobsleigh run St. Moritz-Celerina through the history of bobsleigh and skeleton. The information and pictures on the large-format boards lead you even deeper into the world of these fascinating ice sports via QR codes.

In summer, the course of the bobsleigh track is recognisable as a route in the terrain; in winter, it forms what is probably the largest ice sculpture in the world. The 1722-metre-long ice channel is rebuilt every November, is in operation from Christmas until the beginning of March and then slowly melts away. The Walk of Fame along the track can be visited all year round, except during the construction of the track and the melting of the snow (March-April), when certain panels cannot be visited.

A visit to the newly opened (June 2023) Bobsleigh and Skeleton Museum in St. Moritz would be an ideal conclusion or addition to the Walk of Fame.
