Itching for something new? Go east. Well, as east as St. Moritz, an exclusive resort town in the Engadine valley in Switzerland

Why: St. Moritz is considered the oldest winter resort in the world -- popular pastimes include skiing and hiking, and nearby there is also the world famous Cresta Run toboggan course.

Visit from January 24th to the 27th and you'll get to see the 24th Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow. Year after year, the organizers manage to tempt the world’s very best polo players to St. Moritz. I know, snow polo may sound like a quirky offshoot of more serious equestrian activities, but the World Cup on Snow is, in fact, one of Europe’s top polo fixtures, taken very seriously by those taking part – and those watching. Set on a vast frozen lake (yes, a frozen lake) in the heart of St. Moritz, the best players meet for a fiercely competitive tournament. An incredible site, this is one of the most aesthetically attractive settings for watching live sports that you will ever visit. Alongside the competition, the event brings with it an incredibly social scene that sees a host of parties thrown in conjunction with the event.

Plenty of food, men in tight pants, Champagne, cigars and one of the world's most glamorous destinations. It should make for a good time.
