Polo on Snow — Saint-Moritz Season 2026

Snow Polo Saint-Moritz is unique. Played on a frozen lake at 1,800 metres, it draws the same families year after year. Access is layered — VIP, sponsor, team — and the social calendar runs parallel to the matches.

The tournament

Late January, three days. Four teams, twelve players. Matches mid-afternoon, prize-giving sunset. The lake transforms — goal posts, hospitality tents, Cartier and Maserati activations.

The hotels

Badrutt's Palace — the historic answer. Kulm — the wellness alternative. Suvretta House — for those preferring the woods. Carlton — discreet, family-led. All four are within twelve minutes by chauffeur from the lake.

The dinners

Chesa Veglia for the carved wooden dining rooms. Ecco for the gastronomy. King's Club for the late-night dancefloor.
