the heart of the Swiss Alps, St. Moritz once again played host to the world’s
most prestigious snow polo event—the Snow Polo World Cup 2025. With
breathtaking views, elite teams, and an electric atmosphere, this year’s

edition, held from January 24-26, 2025, saw a spectacular lineup of six
elite teams, each battling for the coveted title on the stunning frozen
lake of St. Moritz. The unique conditions—glistening snow, crisp mountain air,
and the thrill of horses charging across the ice—created an unforgettable
spectacle.
The
Teams and the Tournament
The 2025
edition featured teams representing luxury brands and polo powerhouses,
including Mackage, Flexjet, Maserati, Kusnacht Palace Hotel. With 4-player
teams competing in intense matches, the strategy was as crucial as skill,
given the demanding snowy terrain.

athleticism and teamwork. The icy pitch presented a unique challenge, requiring
players to adjust their tactics, with shorter mallets and a lighter ball
designed for snow play.
