The FIBT World Championships 1957 took place in St. Moritz, Switzerland for the record eighth time. The Swiss city had hosted the event previously in FIBT [World Championships 1931|1931], FIBT [World Championships 1935|1935], 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and 1955. It also marked the first time the unified championships took place in the same location in consecutive championships.
