The event
Arosa ClassicCar is an international hill climb on the 7.3 km road that climbs from Langwies to Arosa, and over the past editions it has drawn drivers and spectators from well beyond Switzerland. Historic racing and sports cars start one by one and race the clock up the mountain road, so spectators see each car several times a day as the race fields take turns on the course. While the runs are under way the road is closed to normal traffic, and the closure times are published by the organiser with the programme.
The full programme of the 23rd edition is published on arosaclassiccar.ch in summer 2027. At the 2026 edition the weekend followed a clear pattern: a village parade through Arosa on Thursday evening, two training runs per race field on Friday, and the race runs on Saturday and Sunday, followed by the prize giving after the last run. Around the racing there were food stands, a children's programme and an event hall with merchandise and lunch.
Spectators can stand at many points along the course without a ticket, which makes it easy to follow the cars from the valley to the finish. Seats on the grandstands in the finish area and VIP packages cost extra; the 2027 tickets go on sale in summer 2027, and the organiser also runs a waiting list for rides in a Porsche race taxi on the course.
Plan your stay
Hotel Altein is in Arosa itself, so the finish area and the village parade are easy to reach on foot, and you do not need to drive on a weekend when the road to Langwies is closed for long periods. After a day by the course, the wellness and spa area and the hotel's restaurants and bars are in the same building. More about the village and the hotel is on our Arosa page.
