St Moritz White Turf
‘Grand Prix’ Weekend
PRICE FROM £1,495pp
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Thursday 19th February – Monday 23rd February 2026
The frozen Lake St. Moritz is transformed into an international hotspot. On the racecourse, established jockeys and their noble thoroughbreds will be showing fast-paced gallop races as well as the world-exclusive skijoring.
Join more than 30,000 people travelling to the Engadin mountains to enjoy the thrilling atmosphere at the horse races on frozen Lake St. Moritz. International professional jockeys race their spirited horses at terrific speed across the snow, causing the air to buzz with excitement. Undisputed highlight is the skijöring, a spectacular form of racing found only in St. Moritz: competitors are on skis, pulled by riderless thoroughbreds at speeds of up to 50 km/h along the 2,700-metre course. The feat demands equal measures of courage, skill, strength and fitness.
The large tent city, covering an area of 130,000 sq.m, offers attractions to guests of all ages including live music, gastronomic delicacies, shopping and a children´s play area. A colourful crowd of horse lovers, jockeys, trainers, owners, helpers, visitors, locals and celebrity guests ensures a glamorous atmosphere that has made the legendary event one of the highlights of the winter season.
Like many sporting events, Horse Racing in St Moritz is subject to the correct weather conditions and the lake being sufficiently frozen. The racing has only been cancelled twice in the last 30 meetings so it is very likely you will see the racing but in the event of racing being cancelled, the show goes on with music, bars, hospitality and entertainment.

ABOUT THE EVENT:
The St. Moritz White Turf is a truly unique and prestigious horse racing event held annually on the frozen Lake St. Moritz in Switzerland. Taking place over three Sundays in February, this extraordinary spectacle combines the excitement of horse racing with the stunning beauty of the Swiss Alps. The event dates back to 1907 and has since become a highlight of the international racing calendar, attracting elite jockeys, top thoroughbreds, and visitors from around the world. The frozen lake, transformed into a snow-covered racecourse, provides a breathtaking setting for thrilling flat races, skijoring (where horses pull skiers), and trotting events. The combination of sport, glamour, and Alpine charm makes the St. Moritz White Turf a must-see for horse racing enthusiasts and luxury travellers alike.
Beyond the racing action, the White Turf offers an unforgettable social experience. Guests can enjoy gourmet food, live music, and exclusive hospitality in elegant marquees, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and excitement. The event draws a cosmopolitan crowd, from racing fans and international celebrities to business leaders, all gathered to enjoy the thrill of the race against a spectacular winter backdrop. Whether you're watching the daring skijoring competitors or savouring a glass of champagne in the VIP area, the St. Moritz White Turf delivers an unparalleled blend of sporting excellence and luxury in one of Switzerland’s most glamorous destinations.
