Slips on Ice
St Moritz is rightly considered a great centre for winter sports, but every February a summer sport takes over in one of the most bizarre spectacles the famous Swiss resort can ever have seen, when cricket is played between February 1st and 3rd.
Now a notable event on the world calendar attended and played by celebrities, Cricket on Ice, which has been taking place since 1988, is a great chance for those overcooked by the blazing sun of Australia to sit happily in the snow and watch a game played on a frozen lake with a rolled mat for a pitch.
Visitors staying in cheap hotels in the area can sit on the boundary with a glass of champagne and enjoy the spectacle without any risk of sunburn.
Naturally enough, St Moritz has plenty of winter sports activities for those who want to switch back to more conventional leisure activities once stumps have been drawn.
