MOUNTAINS & SNOW ‘16
A huge metal sculpture of a horse standing at the side entrance of Lake San Murezzan where the traditional ‘White Turf Races’ take place in St. Moritz — these are different horse races that are performed on the frozen Lake where a lot of high society people meet, party and show off. The belly of the horse is hollow and can be entered through a stepladder at the back of the horse.
Unfortunately this year the ice of the lake was quite thin so they already had to cancel the first races. This morning however there is some hope that the rest of the lake will be frozen very fast as we have some traditional freezing temperatures again.
