White Turf - St Moritz horse race on ice

Hi,

Does anyone know where I could get tickets before-hand for this? (http://www.whiteturf.ch)? It would save a trip to find out that they're sold out once we get there.

Thanks,
~ Nanda.

Re: White Turf - St Moritz horse race on ice

Were you wanting to go this year? 'Cause we live right there and we went to it two weekends ago... I thought it was over - but don't quote me, it was the first time I'd gone and I don't really know too much about it!

It goes for three weekends so this coming Sunday is the last time for this year. Did you enjoy it?

No way! Damn, I have lived in this area for almost two years and never bothered to figure that out! Yeah, it was AWESOME. I was pretty nervous about it - it's been pretty warm here and the ice isn't entirely frozen in parts - but I had been wanting to go for a while. Bring your wallet. Admission price was ok, but once you're in, it's typical St. Moritz pricing. But it's great - arrive early so you can check out all the races and then find a table in the sun to enjoy your champagne.

Did you have to book tickets before-hand?

No, we just got them at the gate. Parking was pretty impossible, so if you are staying in a hotel, just walk. Oh, and wear something warm on your feet! It was a warm day when we went, but my feet froze being on the ice all day!
