Snow polo in St. Moritz: an event of global importance
Since 1907, spectators have been able to feast their eyes on the luxurious game of snow polo which is played on the frozen Lake St. Moritz. This is the very first place where people started to play snow polo. Since that time, it has also been played in various locations around the world: Aspen in the USA, Cortina in Italy and Tianjin in China. St. Moritz does however remain the place where the most prestigious snow polo tournament is held every year.
The European Cup in snow polo will be taking place from 27 until 29 January. The whole tournament will culminate with the final and match to decide third and fourth place on Sunday.
