Lake St. Moritz
St. Moritzersee
A high mountain lake at the foot of the village. When it freezes in winter, it becomes a venue for horse racing, polo, and cricket. In summer, the lakeside path takes about an hour to walk around.
The lake sits at about 1,768 meters above sea level. The path around it is about 4 km long, flat and easy to walk, with views of the village of St. Moritz on the hillside and the bathing area of St. Moritz across the water. When the ice is thick enough, usually from late January to February, the lake hosts international events such as White Turf ice horse racing and Snow Polo. Viewing requires a ticket. At other times, skating and walking are allowed only in designated areas on the ice. In summer, you can rent sailboats and stand-up paddleboards, but the water is too cold for swimming.
