White Turf St. Moritz

The White Turf at St. Moritz is an amazing spectacle of horse racing on the frozen lake at St. Moritz. The event takes place annually for around 100 years usually on the first three Sundays in February. The backdrop to this event takes place in the sunshine and stunning snow-capped mountains of the Alps. Trainers, horses and riders alike along with 35,000 spectators gather from around the globe to compete in one of the most prestigious horse racing events in the world. All of this whilst enjoying the finest hospitality possible amid specially erected marquees on the frozen lake.

St. Moritz is a founder of winter sports and tourism. It was here that, 5 years before, St. Moritz hosted the winter Olympics that the sport of skijoring took place. Skijoring takes place without riders on the horse’s backs but instead they are pulled along on skis. The original races were from St. Moritz to Champfèr where riders set of at 1 minute intervals. Today the race is confined to the track with stringent rules to ensure the safety of both skiers and horses. It is run more like a conventional horse race making for an exciting spectacle. The event takes place shortly after the equally exciting Polo on Snow at St. Moritz.
