I.C.E. St. Moritz: der coolste (und kälteste) Concours der Welt

In jedem Jahr ereignet sich im Engadin ein Wunder aus Wasser und Eis. Wenn die Saison ihren Höhepunkt erreicht, verwandelt der Zauber des Winters den See in St. Morit in eine glitzernde, weiße Kulisse. Zum Jahresanfang entsteht durch diese Komposition die weltweit unglaublichste aller Rennstrecken. 

Ein Phänomen, das nur für eine begrenzte Zeit anhält: In diesem flüchtigen Zeitfenster erwacht der coolste Concours der Eleganz auf Rädern zum blühenden Leben. 

Ein historisches Band verbindet die Region Engadin und die klassischen Automobile. 

Ein Band, das sich wie eine berauschende Spur durch Jahrzehnte von Veranstaltungen rund um den Automobilsport und die Präsentation von Prestigefahrzeugen zieht. 

Alle diese spannenden Veranstaltungen finden im Sommer statt, dank der ausgezeichneten Straßen und den idealen Fahrbedingungen, die ein Ort wie dieser mit seiner Umgebung bieten kann.

Das Ice St. Moritz bricht aus der Komfortzone solcher Veranstaltungen aus und beweist, dass es eine neue Dimension für eine Autoschau ausserhalb der gewohnten Umgebung gibt.

Eine, die die Strenge des Winters mit der ganzen Wärme einer Leidenschaft herausfordert, die weder den Frost noch den Lauf der Zeit fürchtet: die Leidenschaft für die seltensten, elegantesten und kultigsten Oldtimer.
