St Moritz horse races pull record crowds
A galloping success : St Moritz is celebrating 100 years of horse racing on its frozen lake. The White Turf races, held over three consecutive February weekends, are expected to attract about 30,000 visitors from Switzerland and abroad. This is the most important event on the Swiss racing calendar, and includes trotting, flat racing and skijöring. The horses wear spikes to help them grip the icy surface. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo)

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
