St. Moritz Winter 2027: Events, Experiences & Luxury Stays Worth Travelling For

For St. Moritz Winter 2027, the frozen lake becomes the setting for polo, extraordinary cars and horse racing within the space of only a few weeks. Add skiing, private dining, spa afternoons and some of the Swiss Alps’ most established luxury hotels, and a winter trip can become far more than a few days on the slopes.

The key is choosing the right week. The Snow Polo World Cup takes place from 22 – 24 January, The I.C.E. follows on 29 – 30 January, and White Turf racing begins on 7 February before returning for two further Sundays.

When Is the Best Time to Visit St. Moritz in Winter 2027?

For guests interested in the destination’s winter social calendar, late January through February 2027 is particularly interesting. The Snow Polo World Cup opens the sequence from 22 – 24 January, followed only days later by The I.C.E. St. Moritz on 29 – 30 January. White Turf then takes over the frozen lake across three racing Sundays on 7, 14 and 21 February.

Skiing remains firmly part of the picture. Corviglia’s main St. Moritz lifts are currently scheduled to operate from 28 November 2026 until 4 April 2027, with dates varying slightly across the wider Engadin ski areas and remaining subject to operating conditions.

Rather than choosing dates first and trying to fit everything around them later, MA can help work backwards from the experiences that matter most to you.

Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz: 22 – 24 January 2027

The 42nd Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz takes place from 22 – 24 January 2027, with practice games scheduled for 21 January. Snow polo made its world premiere in St. Moritz in 1985, and the tournament remains the world’s only high-goal polo competition played on snow.

The weekend combines international polo with hospitality, dining and a wider social programme across St. Moritz. Premium access can include dedicated hospitality spaces and grandstand viewing, while the Saturday programme leads into the Snow Polo Night Gala.

MA’s dedicated Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz 2027 page covers current VIP access and hospitality options in more detail. MA can also connect the event with accommodation, private transfers and restaurant arrangements as part of a wider stay.

The I.C.E. St. Moritz Returns on 29 – 30 January

Stay only a few more days, or return the following weekend, and the same frozen lake takes on an entirely different character.

The I.C.E. St. Moritz 2027 is confirmed for 29 – 30 January. The event combines classic and exceptional automobiles with design, art and lifestyle, with cars displayed and driven across the winter setting of Lake St. Moritz. Organisers have also been developing the programme beyond the lake, incorporating initiatives across the town itself.

And because it follows Snow Polo by only one weekend, travellers with more time have the option to turn two major St. Moritz events into one extended winter journey.

White Turf St. Moritz Brings Racing to the Frozen Lake

White Turf St. Moritz 2027 celebrates its 120th edition with racing on the frozen lake on Sundays 7, 14 and 21 February. The programme combines flat racing, trotting and skijoring, with hospitality and dining surrounding the sporting programme. Family Days are also scheduled on the Saturdays preceding each race day.

For travellers searching for things to do in St. Moritz in winter, White Turf is one of the clearest examples of why timing the visit around the destination’s event calendar makes such a difference.

A stay can be built around race day rather than treating it as an isolated ticket. Guests might ski earlier in the trip, reserve Saturday for a slower afternoon and dinner, attend White Turf on Sunday and leave space for spa time or another Engadin experience before departure.

What to Do in St. Moritz Between the Events

St. Moritz and the wider Engadin provide plenty to build around them, especially for travellers who want a balance between skiing and lifestyle.

Corviglia offers the most direct ski access from St. Moritz, while the wider region opens up additional ski areas and winter landscapes. Away from the slopes, guests can spend time over long lunches, arrange spa afternoons, explore luxury shopping around Via Serlas or choose more private winter experiences such as horse-drawn carriage rides and guided outings. Local luxury hotels also promote activities ranging from ice skating and skiing to winter excursions throughout the Engadin.

One guest may want first tracks in the morning and Snow Polo hospitality after lunch. Another may prefer a late breakfast, shopping, an event afternoon and a carefully arranged dinner. Families, couples and groups will naturally use St. Moritz differently.

MA can build around that pace rather than handing every guest the same schedule.

Where to Stay and How Long Do You Need in St. Moritz?

When deciding where to stay in St. Moritz, the most expensive room is not automatically the most useful one.

Location matters when an itinerary includes ski access, events on the frozen lake, restaurant reservations and evening plans. Some guests may prioritise one of St. Moritz’s landmark luxury hotels and the atmosphere that comes with it. Others may prefer greater privacy, more space or accommodation suited to a family or group.

For one headline event, a long weekend can work well. Four or five nights create more space for skiing, dining and downtime without needing to rush from arrival directly into an event schedule. Guests wanting to combine Snow Polo with The I.C.E. – or spend more time skiing before White Turf, can build a longer journey around the calendar.

Tell MA the event you want to attend, preferred hotel style, number of travellers, ski plans and any dining or transport requirements. Our team can help shape those into one itinerary before the trip is confirmed.

Let MA Plan Your St. Moritz Winter from Arrival to Departure

With MA Hospitality Group, guests can begin simply by choosing what they want from St. Moritz. Perhaps the priority is Snow Polo with premium hospitality. Perhaps it is The I.C.E., three days of skiing and exceptional dinners. Or perhaps White Turf is only one part of a longer Swiss winter escape.

Our team can then help bring the journey together around those choices. Accommodation, private transfers, event arrangements, ski plans, dining and the timing between them can be coordinated as part of the same trip. Once you have selected the options that suit you and confirmed the arrangements, MA can take care of the organisation behind them.

For the guest, it should feel simple: choose the experience, confirm what suits you and enjoy St. Moritz. Our team handles the journey around it. Contact us now!
