Billed as the coolest concours on Earth, the ICE St Moritz 2026 brings a fresh approach to the classic and collector car scene. Taking place on the frozen lake of St Moritz in Switzerland on January 30 and 31, the event has seen a record number of entries this year.

Founded in 2019, the ICE St Moritz has gone on to play one of the key roles in the European season, with collectors and brokers stepping out onto the picturesque lake. Manufacturer support for the event has traditionally been strong, with the likes of Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Maserati and many others bringing out rarely seen heritage vehicles, as well as showing off their latest wares.

This year, the three stalwart ICE St Moritz classes – Barchettas on the Lake, Open Wheels and Icons on Wheels – will be joined by Birth of the Hypercar and Legendary Liveries. The judging panel includes Jay Ward, Norman Foster, Richard Adatto, Fabrizio Giugiaro, Michele Lupi, Mathias Doutreleau, Vanessa Marçais and Massimo Delbò, among others.

2025’s Best in Show winner was a Bugatti Type 59, with other victors including a Ferrari 500 TRC (Barchettas on the Lake), Porsche 908/03 (Racing Legends) and the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS Spider Aprile (Concept Cars and One-Offs), while a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 won the Icons on Wheels trophy. The Hero Below Zero gong went to a Lamborghini Miura SV, and a Ferrari 250 GT SWB SEFAC won the Spirit of St Moritz prize.

The event begins with a static preview on Friday, January 30, 2026 followed by a day of movement on ice on Saturday 31. The event will spread out from the lake across the town of St Moritz itself, with a mixture of automotive, fashion and cultural exhibits.
