Intro

The «royal» game captivates the spectators every year with top-ranking players and very tough competition for the sought-after world ranking points.

The international Polo Gold Cup tournament has established itself as an audience magnet.

Numerous polo tournaments will be played again this year right next to the airfield in Saanen. The teams will compete against each other starting on Thursday, with the mountains around Saanen creating a breathtaking scenery. The Polo Village offers a variety of luxury boutiques and food stands to visit. The children's area invites younger guests to play.

The polo tournament is open to all visitors and access free.

For VIP reservations, please see the polo website for more detailed information.
