The I.C.E. St. Moritz, Switzerland 2027: Classic Cars on Frozen Lake, Dates & Tickets

Welcome to the The I.C.E. St. Moritz 2027 in St. Moritz

The I.C.E. St. Moritz, the International Concours of Elegance, returns on 29 and 30 January 2027 to the frozen surface of Lake St. Moritz. At about 1,856 metres above sea level, the lake becomes a white stage for rare classics, racing legends and design icons. The weekend mixes a formal concours, dynamic runs on natural ice and the polished winter lifestyle of the Engadin.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027

The two-day structure remains the core of the event. On Friday the I.C.E. Village typically opens around 09:00. The jury inspects the cars at rest, contemporary displays often share the ice in the late morning, and the first awards such as Best in Class and Best Sound follow in the afternoon. Saturday also starts around 09:00, when concours cars take free laps on the frozen lake. The closing ceremony, usually including Best in Show, runs from about 16:00 to 17:00 before activity on the ice ends.

Final 2027 class names will be confirmed by the organisers; the official registration page already points to themed groups such as Racing Stars. Beyond the lake, the event now spills into St. Moritz with exhibitions and cultural dates. Times can shift if ice thickness, heavy snow or visibility make changes necessary.
