    Polo in Switzerland

    Suiza alberga una escena de polo pequeña pero visible internacionalmente centrada en el polo de nieve alpino; la más famosa es la Copa Mundial de Polo de Nieve en St. Moritz, celebrada por primera vez en 1985 en el lago helado de St. Moritz. El polo sobre césped de verano se lleva a cabo en Gstaad, Zurich y Basilea, y la Asociación Suiza de Polo supervisa el circuito nacional.

    Polo in Switzerland

    Switzerland is internationally synonymous with snow polo through the Snow Polo World Cup in St Moritz, held each January on the frozen surface of Lake St Moritz. The event is one of the most distinctive and widely photographed polo spectacles in the world. Summer polo is played at Polo Club Gstaad and at venues in the Lake Geneva region. The Swiss Polo Association governs the domestic season, which runs through the warmer months. Switzerland's combination of luxury resort infrastructure and spectacular mountain scenery makes it a unique destination for both players and spectators.

    Bern Polo Club

    Bern, Switzerland

    Bern Polo Club brings polo to the Swiss capital, operating in the rolling Mittelland countryside outside Bern and affiliated with the SSVP (Swiss Polo Association) within Switzerland's well-organised equestrian sport structure. The club serves both the competitive Swiss polo circuit and the broader goal of making polo accessible to Bern's professional and diplomatic community — a city whose international character, as home to the Swiss government and numerous international organisations, creates a natural audience for an international sport with a cosmopolitan reputation. The club's polo school programme is among its most active offerings, providing structured instruction for adults and juniors through the Swiss summer season, and its grounds provide a quality training environment for ambitious players seeking to develop their game in the Swiss German-speaking polo market.
