Once a winter, when the ice on Lake St. Moritz is thick enough, a racecourse is laid out on it. White Turf has run since 1907 and takes place on three consecutive Sundays in February, with a grandstand and a tented village on the snow-covered lake at 1,800 metres. Three disciplines are run: flat racing on snow, trotting, and skijoring, in which skiers are towed at racing speed behind riderless horses.
The practical fact behind all of it is the ice: warm winters have forced cancellations.
01Neden önemlidir
White Turf is the anchor of the St. Moritz winter calendar and the last significant survivor of a tradition of racing on frozen alpine lakes. In our reading its position matters more than its sport: three fixed weekends around which the resort's winter organizes itself.
02Etrafındaki hafta
St. Moritz in February is at the height of its season, and White Turf is one of several events on the lake: the snow polo tournament runs in January on the same ice and the Engadin Skimarathon follows in March.
03Ne zaman varılır
Any of the three Sundays works; the third decides the skijoring championship and draws the largest crowd.
04Nerede kalınır
St. Moritz Dorf puts the racecourse a ten-minute walk downhill, with Badrutt's Palace, the Kulm and the Carlton overlooking the course; Celerina and Pontresina are quieter and cheaper down the valley.
05Erişim ve ağırlama
Tickets are sold through a public ticketing platform linked from the organizer's site, covering general admission and seating, with a hospitality programme of heated tents above that; Family Days are ticketed separately.
06Sosyal faaliyetin gerçekleştiği yer
The tented village along the trackside; the rail on the ice, which anyone can stand at; the lakeside promenade; and afterwards the bars of St. Moritz Dorf.

09Tarihçe
The first race on the frozen lake was held in 1907, and the 2027 meeting is the 120th, a count reflecting wartime and weather-driven gaps. The meeting grew alongside St. Moritz's development as a winter destination, when the resort was also building the Cresta Run.
10Kimler orada
The Engadin's winter community, resident and returning; Swiss and international racing people, including owners who keep horses in training for snow racing; the largely amateur skijoring competitors; and a public of skiers and day visitors.
