Clinique La Prairie and Azerbaijan Land of Fire have qualified for the final of the 37th Snow Polo World Cup Saint Moritz. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of the Swiss Alps, this unique event is played on the frozen lake in St. Moritz. For the first time ever, the snow polo tournament sees six teams, up to 16 goals, play for the coveted title. Lineups include some of the most renowned polo stars in the world.
After being cancelled in 2021 due to the pandemic, St. Mortiz is back – better than ever – following several months of hard work. A whopping 120 horses arrived from all over Europe, and are now being cared for in the heated barns.
Day two of the tournament was a fabulous event, with the semifinals taking place: Clinique La Prairie defeated Casablanca, and Azerbaijan Land of Fire beat Badrutt’s Palace Hotel. Meanwhile, World Polo League defeated Perrier Jouet to secure third place.
The final is due on Sunday, January 30.
