The story

Caux, above Montreux and Lake Geneva, opened a luge run in December 1903. A shuttle train on the Glion–Rochers de Naye railway carried riders between its ends. The Crêt d’y Bau course staged the four-man bob World Championship in 1930 on a run about 2.5 km long. The last race found on the built run was in February 1940; the club raced on the Caux–Glion road in January 1942.

Today

What remains of the run is not known.
