Every last weekend in January, St. Moritz turns into the world capital of polo: Since 1985, when snow polo had its world premiere here, teams from around the world compete for the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz on the frozen lake of St. Moritz.The Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz is the world’s only high-goal tournament on snow. The three days of the tournament stand for high-class polo played against the magnificent backdrop of the snow-capped mountains of the Engadin Valley and social events both on the lake and in the first-class hotels in St. Moritz. We are looking forward to welcoming polo friends and other guests to the Snow Polo World Cup 2023, from January 27 to 29! The “Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz” is the world’s most prestigious winter polo tournament on snow. Imposing horses, a cosmopolitan crowd and a breathtaking scenery: the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz. What began over 30 years ago in St. Moritz, has developed into a worldwide trend. While polo on snow is now played in locations such as Aspen in the USA, Cortina in Italy and Tianjin in China, the original in St. Moritz remains the only high-goal tournament on snow and thus the highest-level tournament in the World Polo Tour calendar. Four “high-goal teams” compete for the highly coveted trophy on the frozen lake of St. Moritz. About 15,000 spectators experience a world of sports, which is marked by elegance, speed, and the traditional British sporting spirit. In short, tradition – class – hospitality – emotions!
Highlights of the tournament are the small and the grand finale on Sunday. The matches require concentration, skill, courage and endurance from the world’s top ranked players and also the horses. The special conditions on snow, the unique location at 1,800 metres above sea level and sophisticated St. Moritz make the tournament unique of its kind.
