St Moritz - gallops at White Turf

By Mark Sukhija

For sure it's an unusual experience to watch horses racing in snow. Even more so on a frozen lake. But that's exactly what happens every year - for three weekends in Feburary in the Alpine city of St Moritz.

Attracting the wealthy, the racing-enthusiast and curious traveller in equal measure - the setting of the White Turf on St Moritz's frozen lake surrounded by Swiss Alpine scenery really make this event something special.

Naturally enough, the finish-line is an ever popular place to watch the race - but the first corner is also an excellent place to catch a glimpse of the racing. And get some great photos too.
