Sutrelia / Destinations / St Moritz
Alpine · Engadine · Graubünden
Where alpine tourism was invented in 1864 and where it is still performed most theatrically — frozen-lake horse racing, furs at lunch, and 300 days of sun a year.
When to go
Ski season December to early April. White Turf racing runs three Sundays in February; Snow Polo in late January. Summer is quieter, with sailing and hiking on the Engadine lakes.
Getting there
Zurich 3h by private chauffeur, or the Bernina Express for the scenic route. Samedan airfield, 10 minutes away, is Europe's highest and takes private jets.

Hotels and chalets, private transfers and helicopters, restaurant reservations, guides, events and everything in between — on one WhatsApp thread.

Insider tableThings to do
Thoroughbred racing and skijoring on the frozen lake, three Sundays each February — black tie in the tents, furs on the ice.
The 1885 natural ice skeleton track, head-first at 80mph. Riders only by arrangement; spectating is easier.

January polo on the frozen lake, played with a red ball and considerable hospitality.
Insider note
February is the month — White Turf, Snow Polo and the best light of the season all land together, and so does the entire Milanese and London set.
