White Turf is a unique event with exciting horse-racing, gourmet catering, lively music and inspiring art exhibitions, all taking place under the winter sun on the frozen lake among the stunningly beautiful, snow-capped mountains of St Moritz.

Though never seriously considered for the Olympics, the mixture of skiing and horse-racing is taken to the limit over White Turf’s 60cm thick ice, making it a daring display of agility, discipline and strength.

The breath-taking panorama of the White Turf attracts more than 30,000 spectactors each year, each with a passion for horse-racing, good food and entertainment. Combining the awe-inspiring scenery of the Upper Engedine with the thunderous galloping of the horses and the cries of the jockeys, this event not only immortalises the winner of the race, but the excitement and pure enjoyment you will leave with will be unforgettable.

This annual event is not just a meeting for top-class race-horse owners, jockeys and trainers, but is a deluxe social gathering for local people as well as those from afar. With champagne served on the ice, excellent catering and even a chance to win a tropical island holiday staying in a luxury hotel, White Turf is an experience that unites the fierce competition of horse-racing with the grandeur of a stylish soiree. In this charged, immensely atmospheric setting, White Turf holds its reign as one of the world’s most stylish, top-class sporting events.
