Cirque Du Ski! Swiss Freskiier Creates Circus-Themed Stunt Run. Swiss freeskiing star Fabian Bösch has created his own 'Circus Bösch' in which he performs stunts like an acrobat. Using trapeze swings, bouncy balls, and snow-covered railings, Bösch performs a circus act like no other, blending athletic precision with a playful flair. The Schilthorn run, where Bösch built his unusual circus, is already famed for its connection to the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, it offers sweeping views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. Helvepark, a Swiss company known for its innovative snow parks, took on the challenge of designing the “circus” elements on the mountain. Working closely with Bösch, they created custom trapeze and rail setups that allowed him to perform his stunts. He says he found creating his circus as tough as any competition. “In a contest, it's just me; when I make a mistake, it only bothers me,” he explains. “But with 'Circus Bösch', there were 20 people on the mountain.You don't want to let anyone down.”
