HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Descent of the Cresta Run > Exceptional restaurants > Variety of activities > Reliable powder conditions

The Cresta Run is a private club but Original Travel is able to offer non-member clients the chance to ride the world famous track.

Descending the ¾ mile long Cresta Run at speeds in excess of 60 mph (the best riders approach 80 mph), your face just inches above the surface of the ice, is amongst the most thrilling of all adrenalin sports. Beginners start from a point approximately a quarter of the way along the course and are encouraged to go down in a time of between 65 and 75 seconds. If beginners follow instructions, they will negotiate the Cresta successfully, but ignoring the expert advice will almost certainly result in total loss of control and an airborne exit at Shuttlecock Corner, the most famous – and feared – point of the Run. The picture actually shows one the Original Travel directors exiting at Shuttelcock.

St. Moritz is the oldest winter sports resort in the world, and has been host to two Winter Olympics and three Alpine Ski World Championships. The resort enjoys one of the most spectacular settings in the Alps, situated on the Upper Engadine lakes. In winter, the frozen lakes play host to a diverse and eccentric range of activities, from polo and horse racing to ice cricket, but the highlight of the trip is taking on the famous Cresta Run.

Ride the Cresta in the morning, then head off to an Alpine restaurant for a traditional meal. Some of the best restaurants are only accessible by horse-drawn sledge. Wrapped in a fur blanket, guests are pulled along the crisp snow under frosted fir trees.

Original Travel has selected the Kulm Hotel, home of the Cresta Run, as the place to stay. The Cresta Run is actually located in the grounds of the ultra luxurious Kulm Hotel. In addition the hotel is walking distance from the ski-lifts.

Other than the Cresta run, you can enjoy a number of alternative winter activities, including skiing, dog sledding, snow-shoeing, or curling. In the evening soak up the resort's great nightlife and cosmopolitan ambience.
