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.
