THE I.C.E. – a unique and special event which, from the very beginning, was conceived and intended as a Concours d’Elégance immersed in nature: an adventure in a venue that only exists in winter, thanks to the natural cycle of the seasons. In a highly organised and predictable contemporary world, the unpredictability of nature has made the 2024 edition impossible, at least in its well-known and established form.
The organisers have all worked hard in the preparation of this edition, which this year was to have been even more captivating and exciting.
Unfortunately, the extraordinary snowfall over the last few days has forced us to cancel the event entirely.
The safety of the participants and the general public is our priority, and while we are aware that we are subject to the laws of nature, we are above all committed to keeping the thousands of people who converge on the lake safe at all times.
As everybody knows, we work closely with the local authorities and See-Infra AG, a team of experts who monitor the ice conditions of the lake and who, after careful analysis, deemed that the conditions were not suitable and would not be able to host the event. We would like to emphasise that for us, the safety of everyone is a priority. PEOPLE FIRST.
We look forward to the next edition with plenty of surprises!

Every year, in the Engadine, a miracle of water and ice occurs.
When the season reaches its peak, the spell of winter transforms Lake St. Moritz into the sparkling white backdrop of the most incredible of motor racing stages. A phenomenon that only lasts for a limited period: it is in this fleeting window of time that the world’s coolest concours of elegance on wheels comes to life. The I.C.E. St. Moritz.
A historic bond unites the Engadin region and classic cars. A bond that winds like an exhilarating track through decades of events based on motoring (tourist and competitive) as well as the display of prestige cars. All of these exciting events take place in the summer, thanks to the excellent roads and ideal driving conditions that places such as this, with its surroundings, can offer.
The I.C.E. St. Moritz breaks out of the comfort zone of such events, proving that there is a new dimension for a car show outside the familiar settings, one which challenges the rigours of winter with all the warmth of a passion that fears neither the grip of frost nor the passage of time: the passion for the rarest, most elegant and iconic classic cars.

The I.C.E. St. Moritz is a very different event, a refreshing concours. A completely magical environment where drivers, collectors, and just plain car enthusiasts enjoy a late winter day in the sunshine, surrounded by the landscape and atmosphere that only St.Moritz, at the top of the world, is able to offer.
The Bugatti Type 59 Grand Prix, developed for the 1934 750 kg formula, featured a supercharged 3.3L straight-eight but struggled against German and Italian rivals. Despite innovative but flawed wheel and chassis designs, it saw limited success, with a lone victory at the 1934 Belgian Grand Prix. By 1935, it was outdated, leading Bugatti to repurpose it for sports car racing. Though never dominant, the Type 59 remains an iconic pre-war racer, admired for its elegance and craftsmanship.
