At the Threshold of the Cresta Run, St. Moritz, 1912: A Leap of Faith and Tradition This photograph, taken in 1912, captures the exhilarating moment as a member of the renowned St. Moritz Tobogganing Club prepares to embark on the famous Cresta Run in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The Cresta Run, first established in 1884, is an iconic and historic toboggan course that has attracted thrill-seekers from around the world for over a century. The image portrays the daring and courageous spirit of the tobogganist, who is poised at the top of the run, ready to leap onto his machine. His determined expression and focused gaze convey the anticipation and excitement that comes with tackling the challenging 1,819-meter-long course. The frozen riverbed, adorned with icy bumps and turns, is a testament to the rugged terrain that has made the Cresta Run a legendary destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The St. Moritz Tobogganing Club, founded in 1897, has played a significant role in the history of the Cresta Run. The club's members have maintained the tradition of manually grooming the course each winter, ensuring that it remains in pristine condition for the annual racing season. This photograph, taken over a century ago, is a testament to the enduring allure and rich history of the Cresta Run and the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club. In this moment, the tobogganist embodies the spirit of adventure and the thrill of the unknown that has drawn people to the Cresta Run for generations. As he leaps onto his machine, he is not just embracing the challenge of the course, but also the legacy of those who have come before him and those who will follow in his footsteps.
