3. One of the more unconventional but extremely popular
draws for tourists is the White Turf in St. Moritz. The
White Turf is for all those who crave for an adventure.
We aren’t talking about skiing or any such conventional
sport that you can think of. We are talking about
International Horse Races on Snow which is a one of a
kind in the entire world. For more than a hundred years,
ever since 1907, the White Turf has hosted jockeys and
thoroughbreds from all across Europe and from around
the world to compete in one of the toughest races to
have ever been conceived.
White Turf is hosted at St. Moritzersee, St.Moritz in
Switzerland. If you are considering going in February
when the event is organized every year, consider
staying at a 5-star hotel in St. Moritz as you need the
comfort and luxury of prized establishments.

5. Engadin´s largest horse racing event plays out on the
frozen Lake St. Moritz. The event is held on three
consecutive Sundays in February. In 2016, the races
would be held on 7th, 14th and 21st of February. The
race also features skijoring which is a visual feast
specially devised to pump up your adrenaline. Jockeys
hooked to un-mounted horses are pulled at a galloping
speed of more than fifty kilometers an hour.
The one to accumulate the most points over the three
Sundays is crowned as the King of the Engadin. Are
you up for galloping horses on flatbeds of spraying
snow, thundering hooves and a backdrop that you are
accustomed to seeing in movies? Well, you know what
your destination should be next winter.

6.  The price of tickets for the event usually starts from CHF 20.00.
