St. Moritz invented winter tourism, and it still knows how to stage a winter season. In 2027 two of its most glamorous traditions return to the frozen lake: the Snow Polo World Cup from 22 to 24 January, and White Turf, horse racing on snow, across February.
Snow Polo World Cup
From Friday 22 to Sunday 24 January 2027, international teams play polo on the frozen St. Moritz lake, with the Alps as the backdrop and the VIP tent at the centre of the social week. Dates are as published by Switzerland Tourism, which advises confirming details with the organisers.
White Turf
White Turf has brought horse racing to the frozen lake since 1907, and 2027 marks its 120th anniversary. The 2027 race days fall between 6 and 21 February, according to the St. Moritz tourist office, with skikjöring, where riders on skis are pulled by galloping horses, as its most famous spectacle.
Where to stay
The grand hotels of St. Moritz are booked early for the event weekends, and chalets in Suvretta, Champfèr and Celerina offer more space and privacy for families. Tables in the best restaurants and mountain huts are as scarce as the rooms. We research the options against your dates; you book directly.
Arriving
Engadin Airport at Samedan, a few kilometres away, is one of the highest airports in Europe and handles private aviation, subject to weather and aircraft limits. From Zurich, the drive or the scenic train takes around three hours. See our guide to the Alps in winter 2027.
