This latest exhibition at the St. Moritz Design Gallery, in the Serletta car park, is dedicated to the history of bobsleigh sport and the world's only bobsleigh run on natural ice.
In the St. Moritz Design Gallery, along the pedestrian passage from Badrutt's Palace Hotel down to the lake, there are 31 large illuminated showcases in which changing exhibitions of valuable posters and photographs are held. This winter season, visitors can look forward to an exhibition on bobsleighing. With good reasons: In mid-January 2023, the World Bobsleigh Championships will be held on the Olympic Bob Run in St. Moritz-Celerina, and the legendary Saint Moritz Bobsleigh Club celebrates its 125th anniversary in December 2022. To mark the occasion, St. Moritz Design Gallery is showing large-format posters of excerpts from the colourful history of Saint Moritz Bobsleigh Club and bobsleighing sport. The world's oldest bobsleigh club was founded on 21 December 1897 by English enthusiasts. One of the initiators' goals was to keep the road to Celerina in passable condition for bobsleigh rides. But safety was also an issue: for example, the club had to print flyers for the coachmen, and guards had to be posted at dangerous places to warn bobsleighs and horse-drawn sleighs to watch out for each other! It took a long time to attain today's bobsleigh run with its start and finish shelters.
