The
impressive winter alpine landscape of Switzerland’s Engadine
valley, together with the elegant St. Moritz resort, provide
a fascinating and exclusive backdrop to the annual Cartier
Polo World Cup on Snow. Every January four high-goal teams
from various countries compete on the frozen St. Moritz Lake
for the coveted championship title, and the prestige which
accompanies it.
Under the
patronage of the jewelry and watch producer Cartier, the
renowned St. Moritz Polo Club every year organizes the most
significant polo tournament on snow to be held anywhere in
the world. Between 10,000 and 15,000 spectators have
attended the Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow.
At one time
considered an extravagant curiosity, this polo tournament
has come to accentuate the exquisite image of St. Moritz,
and proven itself ideally suited to the chic elegance and
high class ambiance to be found in the local legendary
“champagne climate". The organizers have certainly succeeded
once again to secure exciting participants for this mega
event, Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow. The teams from
classic polo nations such as Argentina and England promise a
spectacular match in the midst of an idyllic, snow-covered
alpine setting - certainly the “Top of the World"… |
