Arosa ClassicCar 2026

From 3 to 6 September 2026, Arosa ClassicCar brings vintage and classic automobiles to the village and the mountain roads around it, four days of alpine drives and open-air displays in one of Switzerland's most scenic settings.

The event

Arosa ClassicCar is a relaxed, connoisseur-focused gathering of vintage and classic cars set against the Graubünden mountains. Each September, collectors and enthusiasts drive their vehicles up through the passes and into the centre of Arosa, where the cars are parked, displayed and admired. The 2026 event marks the 22nd edition, and unlike a competitive rally the emphasis is on craftsmanship, heritage and the pleasure of driving exceptional machines through exceptional landscapes.

Expect dozens of meticulously kept cars, from pre-war models to later classics, lined up through the village and along the main viewing areas. You can look at rare models up close, hear the distinctive sound of vintage engines, and often meet the owners, who are usually happy to talk about their cars. Beyond the static displays, the cars take to the alpine roads in convoy, so some of the best moments come from watching them move against the mountain backdrop. Wednesday is arrival day with the first displays, Thursday and Friday carry the main exhibitions and drives, and Saturday morning offers a last look before departure. The full programme is published later in the summer.

Practical information

When: 3 to 6 September 2026, with the main displays and alpine drives on Thursday and Friday.
Where: the centre of Arosa and the surrounding Graubünden mountain roads.
Entry: the public displays around the village are free to view, with no ticket needed; some associated gatherings are for participants only.
Getting there: the displays are a short walk from the hotel, and walking is easier than driving during the event, as some village streets have restricted access.

Plan your stay

Altein, a Faern Collection Resort, sits in the centre of Arosa, a few minutes on foot from the displays and an easy base for the weekend. Watch the cars in the morning, take a break at the hotel over midday, then return for the afternoon and evening. Afterwards, unwind in the spa with its indoor pool and saunas, and enjoy the restaurants and bars without needing to travel. Come and enjoy the classics with us in Arosa.
