The three-day tournament and high-class events saw four teams compete amongst the delight of 13,000 spectators capturing favorable weather on the St Moritz lake transforming it into the ultimate polo field, with the monumental backdrop of the snowcapped mountains. “We are delighted to have kicked off the Maserati Polo Tour with such a magnificent tournament” said Giulio Pastore, General Manager Maserati Europe: “There is something special about snow polo, that gives the thrill of the game an additional level of excitement, especially with such a unique atmosphere as here in St. Moritz”.

 

The glamorous event saw VIP personalities jet across the globe to witness the unique sport and social gathering. Enrico Roselli, CEO of Martina adding “It is always exciting for us to participate at the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz, since we were among the creators of the tournament over thirty years ago. To share such an experience with Maserati came naturally, given our similar backgrounds characterized by a burning passion for sports and excellent performances”.
