Equestrian lovers can get their money’s worth twice: from 26^th to 29^th January 2012 the ice trembles under the feet of the powerful polo ponies at the St. Moritz Polo World Cup on Snow, the world’s most famous polo tournament on snow; while at the traditional and classic White Turf on 5^th, 12^th and 19^th February 2012, elegant racehorses speed across the snow-covered surface.
