    A winter sport with a long history, luge is among the fastest and most intense sports on ice. Like skeleton and bobsleigh, luge involves sliding down a narrow, curving track of ice at high speeds, with the using reflexes for turning.
    The sport of luge, like the skeleton and the bobsleigh, originated in the health-spa town of St Moritz, Switzerland, in the mid-to-late 19th century, through the endeavours of hotel entrepreneur Caspar Badrutt. Badrutt successfully sold the idea of winter resorting, as well as rooms with food, drink, and activities.
