The tournament, which was first held in the winter of 1985, has grown in size over the years and become increasingly professional, and is now one of the most famous and oldest winter polo tournaments worldwide. For 30 years, the best polo players in the world have come together to chase the orange ball over the frozen Lake St. Moritz and accumulate points for the individual player rankings. Each year, over four days, thousands of spectators follow the top-class polo while enjoying the incomparable atmosphere on the lake.
