White Turf St. Moritz is a world-famous horse-racing event held over three Sundays each February on the frozen Lake St. Moritz, Switzerland. Since 1907, it has drawn elite jockeys, owners, and spectators for a unique blend of sport, glamour, and Alpine spectacle. Thoroughbreds compete in flat races, trotting events, and the extraordinary skijoring, where riders on skis are pulled by galloping horses across the snow. Surrounded by Engadin’s dazzling mountain scenery, visitors enjoy fine dining, champagne tents, and a festive social atmosphere. Blending tradition, luxury, and adrenaline, White Turf St. Moritz is one of Europe’s most distinctive winter sporting and social occasions.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in St. Moritz or an Engadin route—we’ll plan horse races on the frozen lake (flat, trotting & skijoring), smart grandstand tickets & vantage points, timing & transport, and a walkable stay near the lake/rail.
