Why not, FD.??
Every year in February on three Sundays this event takes place. Look on-line for the exact dates if you are planning of visiting Switzerland during February, and if you do, then include this event in your itinerary.
To get into the event, it costs very little. About 10 Euros, if you do it standing. Grand Stands costs about 30 Euros. There 6 races and are about 30 minutes apart, so you have time to see one race and then walk around to do some people watching and then go and stand at a different location to see the next race. As the case is in Switzerland, in such events you do not get ripped off buying food or drinks just because you are a "captive audience". No, you pay about the same if you were in town for the same items.
Drive by car from Zurich is about 3 hours. Best to take the train like most people, which takes about 3 1/2 hours. You can bring a backpack to carry drinks and sandwiches if you like for the whole day as well as enjoy Bratwurst & Beer in the event. Again, you will not get ripped off.
Enjoy your stay in Switzerland.!
I did it a couple of years ago Kiks,but ended up staying in Gstaad for a while which I thought was a much nicer place. I will say though that the snow wasn't the only "white stuff" being used for recreation from what I saw
