Passione Engadina 2026 - Italian classic cars in St. Moritz

From 27 to 30 August 2026, Passione Engadina celebrates its 15th anniversary, filling the Upper Engadin with Italian classic cars under this year's motto, The Italian Job.

The event

Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos and Lancias built up to 1986 gather in St. Moritz for four days of driving and celebration. Rally stages sweep across the region's alpine passes, and the villages along the route fill with exhibitions, gala evenings and the unhurried spectacle of great cars being used as intended. Late August gives the event its light: warm days, clear air and open-top weather.

Highlights

Thursday 27 August: Ladies' Cup and Next Gen Cup. Friday 28 to Saturday 29 August: Julius Baer Challenge, the main rally. Sunday 30 August: closing gatherings in St. Moritz. The full programme is at passione-engadina.ch.

Where to watch from Hotel Schweizerhof

Sils Maria sits between Lake Sils and the Maloja Pass road, so rally stages regularly pass within sight of the village. Exhibition areas and start points in St. Moritz are 15 minutes away by car or Engadin Bus. The hotel team can point you to the day's best viewing spots. If British marques are more your tune, the British Classic Car Meeting opens the season each July.
