has been part of the Snow Polo Tournament since its very beginning, over thirty
years ago, and our excitement remains unchanged. Our brand is built on a
genuine passion for polo and all of the components that make it a uniquely

entertainment that never ceases to amaze us. Like every year, we are delighted
to be a part of an unmissable event and to endorse such a passion showing it to
the world for what it really is, in the breathtaking frame of St. Moritz”.
