Bendura Bank Snow Polo World Cup Kitzbuhel
Bendura Bank Snow Polo World Cup Kitzbuhel takes place Jan 15 - 17, 2027 in Kitzbuhel, Austria. The dress code is Warm winter-chic - shearling or wool coat, hat, and boots with grip for packed snow pitchside. The VIP marquee is properly smart, apres-ski rather than black tie. Typical cost ranges from 250 to 1400 EUR per person.
A three-day snow polo tournament played on a groomed arena pitch in Kitzbuhel, with the Wilder Kaiser and the Hahnenkamm as backdrop, reaching its 24th edition in 2027. Around eight international teams contest it over the weekend, with the ball on snow moving slower and the ponies studded for grip, which makes the play easier to follow than on grass. It sits in the middle of Kitzbuhel's busiest winter weeks and is far more accessible than the St Moritz equivalent.

How to attend
General pitchside viewing is free and genuinely open to anyone - just walk up. Paid VIP hospitality, tables and marquee packages are sold through the event's ticketing partner and should be booked in the autumn. Dates and the programme are listed on the Kitzbuhel Tourismus event calendar. Kitzbuhel has its own railway station with direct services from Innsbruck and Salzburg, so a car is not necessary.
The general public area is free to enter with no ticket at all; only VIP tables and marquee hospitality are sold, and those are arranged through the event organisers.
Insider tip
General pitchside viewing is free, so the smart play is to stand at the rail with a gluhwein and spend nothing - and if the weather turns, the organisers stream every match free on YouTube.
