Zum Auftakt der neuen Ausstellung „Olympia Bob Run“ im Verkehrshaus in Luzern können die Besucher auf einer Bob-Anschiebbahn eine Bestzeit hinlegen. Oder ein Skeletonrennen hautnah erleben – auf dem Bauch liegend und mit einer Virtual-Reality-Brille vor den Augen.
They were (or still are) all medallists in bobsleigh and skeleton who met at the Swiss Museum of Transport on Thursday afternoon to open the new exhibition: Marcel Rohner, Reto Götschi, Ivo Rüegg, Gregor Stähli, Hans Hiltebrand and Marina Gilardoni.
So viele „medaillenbekränzte Athleten“ auf einem Haufen sehe man selten, sagte Guido Ratti, jahrelanger Speaker am Olympia Bob Run in St. Moritz-Celerina an der Eröffnung.
The bobsleigh push track and the skeleton simulator, which allows visitors to experience what it's like to whizz through an ice channel upside down and headfirst at speeds of up to 145 km/h thanks to virtual reality goggles, will be available at the Museum of Transport until Sunday.
Diese beiden Attraktionen sind Türöffner zur neuen Dauerausstellung, die den Namen „Olympia Bob Run“ trägt, und die in im ersten Stock der Halle Schifffahrt, Seilbahnen und Tourismus untergebracht ist.
At the centre of the exhibition is the only remaining natural ice bobsleigh run and also the oldest bobsleigh run in the world, which is located in St. Moritz. It was built in 1904 and is an important cultural asset in Swiss sporting history.
In the new themed area, visitors can grind their own bobsleigh runners, and there is a cutaway model of a 4-man bobsleigh on display, as well as a vintage bobsleigh. Visitors can also sit in a bobsleigh and have their photo taken in the starting area of a race track. You can also read about the history of bobsleigh track construction and its influence on tourism in the Engadin.
