The Ice - International Concours of Elegance (I.C.E. St. Moritz)
The Ice - International Concours of Elegance (I.C.E. St. Moritz) takes place Late Jan 2027 (typically the last weekend of January; confirm on the official site) in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The dress code is Alpine-chic with serious warmth underneath - fur, cashmere and moon boots is genuinely the look; grippy insulated soles are essential for standing on polished lake ice. Typical cost ranges from 900 to 4500 EUR per person.
A concours held on the frozen lake at St. Moritz, where rare classics, prewar racers and modern hypercars are displayed and then driven on studded tyres across the ice. It has become a fixture for the collector elite who already come for the winter season, and the classes change each year. Small, cold, expensive and unlike any other concours in the world.

How to attend
Spectator day tickets are sold online at theicestmoritz.ch and are modestly priced compared with everything else in St. Moritz that week. The public can attend freely with a ticket; exhibiting a car is strictly by curated invitation. Check the site late in the year for confirmed dates and book St. Moritz or Pontresina lodging as early as possible, since January is peak season regardless.
Insider tip
The cars are actually driven on the ice rather than parked, so stand at the far end of the run where drivers get hardest on the throttle - and wear boots with real grip, because the display area is polished and unforgiving.
