White Turf St. Moritz celebrates horse racing on snow and the winter social season in St. Moritz, Switzerland, when Lake St. Moritz freezes into a glittering track each February (three Sundays). The program pairs fast gallop and trotting races with the event’s signature skijoring, where a skier is towed behind a thoroughbred for a heart-stopping sprint. Between heats, expect alpine glamour—champagne terraces, gourmet tents, and pop-up music and art—all framed by snow-capped Engadine peaks.
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.
