Gstaad welcomes top sport to the Hublot Polo Gold Cup

16 Jun 2014

Since its early beginnings in 1996, the Gstaad Polo Club event is by now well established on the European Polo circuit tour and in 2014, will once again welcome some of the world’s top players, including tournament regulars Eduardo and Frankie Menendez (ARG).

In this unique mountainous setting, matches take place on the fields of Gstaad Saanen Airport, which are meticulously kept and maintained year-round for the sole purpose of offering the best possible surface quality for the 3 days of this Polo event. Amongst the many prestigious partners who continue to support the event are Hublot — title sponsor since 2008, Banque Baring Brothers Sturdza SA, E.I. Sturdza Investment Funds, Gstaad Palace, Vicomte A., McLaren Geneva, Perrier Jouët, Dunhill and Nespresso.

Each year, the event attracts well over 6000 spectators attending the free admission matches as well as the festive Players Parade on Friday afternoon in the streets of Gstaad. The VIP tent welcomes over a thousand connoisseurs with treats for the eyes and palate, tastefully orchestrated by the chefs of Gstaad Palace who prepare gourmet meals for guests. The long awaited Saturday Gala Night, organised in the VIP tent, remains one of the highlights of the event. Among the entertainers, Silvan Zingg, one of the greatest Boogie-Woogie pianists in Europe will be sure to get guests up on their feet. The evening will continue until the early hours as the DJs of the infamous GreenGo night club in Gstaad relocates for this annual one night do.

In 2013, Team Gstaad Palace narrowly beat Team Hublot after an intense and thrilling match. What will be the outcome in 2014? Date and destination set – 21st-24th August, Gstaad!
