The thwack of the ball against the polo mallet accompanied by the pounding of horses’ hooves has historically been only accessible to the rich and privileged, but head to Klosters in January and not only can you watch the exhilarating Berenberg Snow Polo tournament for free, it’s set against the backdrop of the 300km of pistes running across the Davos Klosters mountains.
Set in the pretty Alpine village loved by Royals and skiers alike, next to Davos, Europe’s highest town, snow polo in Klosters is open to everyone and played in the evening, so after a full day’s skiing, watch a chukka or two and enjoy a glass of mulled wine with friends. The glistening snow, the sinewy horses, the moonlight – it makes for a magical experience.
