Founded in 1985, the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz stands as the world’s only high-goal polo tournament played on snow. What began as a daring experiment by Swiss hotelier Reto Gaudenzi has blossomed into an unmissable event on the international polo calendar, attracting approximately 25,000 spectators from around the globe. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Engadin Valley’s snow-capped peaks, this event combines world-class competition with unmatched elegance, attracting both seasoned spectators and curious newcomers alike.

This year’s tournament promises high-stakes action as six elite teams from around the globe compete for the championship title on the frozen Lake St. Moritz. The unique snow pitch transforms the game, adding an extra layer of challenge for players and exhilaration for the audience. Spectators can expect three days of riveting matches, culminating in Sunday’s grand finale, where the best of the best will vie for victory.

The event is as much a social gathering as a sporting spectacle. Beyond the games, guests can explore the lively Polo Village which offers a vibrant atmosphere for mingling with polo enthusiasts and global travellers.
