For four days each January, six high-goal teams play on the frozen lake of St. Moritz. The Snow Polo World Cup, in its 42nd edition in 2027, combines top-level polo with one of the most distinctive social weekends of the Alpine winter.
Training games open the week on Thursday 21 January, with free entry. The tournament runs from Friday 22 to Sunday 24 January: opening matches on Friday, semi-finals and the traditional Schlitteda sleigh parade on Saturday, and the final on Sunday afternoon. Saturday evening brings the black-tie gala dinner.
Opera Prestige arranges your access to the tournament and the gala together with the rest of the stay: a residence in St. Moritz, the flight into Samedan and a chauffeur, coordinated by a single contact.

Snow Polo St. Moritz — Why Opera Prestige

The polo is the reason for the trip; the stay around it is what makes the weekend work.

  • 01

    Matches and Gala Together

    Tournament access and gala tickets are sold separately. We align both so the day and the evening hold together.

  • 02

    Alpine Season

    Each winter we place clients in chalets with staff in the French Alps; St. Moritz in January belongs to the same season. In St. Moritz itself, we source chalets, apartments and suites for the tournament week.

  • 03

    Weather-Aware Planning

    Matches on the lake depend on the ice, and flights into Samedan on visibility. We plan an alternative for both.

  • 04

    Discretion

    Requests are handled privately by a small team, without publicity.
