EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1925, showcases the thrilling Sledge Race at St. Moritz in Switzerland. The frozen lake of St. Moritz transforms into a unique racecourse during the winter months, providing an exhilarating experience for both participants and spectators alike. The Alpine landscape of St. Moritz, with its snow-capped mountains and pristine white surroundings, sets the perfect backdrop for this traditional winter sport. In the foreground, a team of powerful horses, bundled up against the cold, pull a sleigh, their breath visible in the crisp air. The sledges, or sleighs, are carefully balanced atop the icy surface, ready for the race. The Sledge Race at St. Moritz is a testament to the Swiss spirit of embracing the winter season and making the most of the natural environment. The 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of excitement and adventure, and this image encapsulates the essence of that era. The horses, the sledges, and the frozen lake all come together to create a scene that is both picturesque and invigorating. The Sledge Race at St. Moritz is a proud tradition that continues to this day, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience the thrill of racing on ice. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and unique charm of this winter sport, and the enduring allure of St. Moritz as a premier winter destination.
