St. Moritz Dazzles With Elite Winter Sports on Its Frozen Lake
St. Moritz is once again the center of winter spectacle as its frozen lake hosts a series of high-profile events. Until the end of February, visitors can enjoy thrilling sports, luxury dining, and world-famous competitions against a stunning Alpine backdrop. The White Turf series and other unique attractions have put this Swiss destination in the global spotlight.
The White Turf horse racing series takes place over three Sundays in February. This prestigious event features the unusual skijoring race, where skiers are pulled at high speed by riderless horses across the ice. Alongside the races, the lake remains open daily for public activities until February 22, offering skating, ice swimming, and even paragliding with landings directly on the frozen surface.
The excitement doesn't end with horse racing. The Snow Polo World Cup and Cricket on Ice also draw international crowds, blending tradition with spectacle. Visitors can indulge in gourmet experiences, as top culinary partners provide fine dining throughout the season.
These events cement St. Moritz's reputation as a prime luxury destination. With exclusive charm, breathtaking scenery, and a packed schedule of elite sports, the resort continues to attract global visitors. The season's activities run until late February, offering both thrills and relaxation on the frozen lake.
