Cricket on Ice 2027 - frozen-lake tournament in St. Moritz

From 10 to 13 February 2027, Cricket on Ice turns the frozen Lake St. Moritz into a cricket ground, about fifteen minutes from Hotel Schweizerhof in Sils Maria.

The event

Cricket on Ice is exactly what it sounds like: a full tournament played on the snow-covered ice of the lake, teams in whites against a backdrop of alpine peaks. Founded in the late 1980s, it has grown into one of the quirkier fixtures of the Engadin winter, with invited teams, a matting wicket laid over the ice and a social programme that runs alongside the matches. It shares the lake with the season's other great ice events, so a February weekend in St. Moritz often means several spectacles on the same frozen stage.

Where to watch from Hotel Schweizerhof

The tournament plays on Lake St. Moritz, roughly 15 minutes from Sils Maria by car or Engadin Bus. Watching is straightforward and the lakeside setting is the real draw. February is the heart of the Engadin winter here, with the frozen lakes at Sils and St. Moritz both firm enough to walk on.
