September 11–13, 2026 | Bernina Pass, Valposchiavo & St. Moritz, Switzerland

There are few places where the sound of a historic racing engine feels as natural as it does high in the Swiss Alps.

From September 11 to 13, 2026, the legendary Bernina Gran Turismo returns to the Bernina Pass, bringing together exceptional automobiles, passionate collectors, entrepreneurs, racing legends and international guests for one of the most exclusive hill climb events in Europe.

It is a celebration of precision, performance and automotive heritage — set against the extraordinary landscape of the Engadin.

For guests attending the event, Elite Estates St. Moritz offers the opportunity to experience the weekend from another perspective: staying in the privacy of an exceptional luxury residence while our Concierge Service takes care of the details surrounding your time in St. Moritz.

An Iconic Motorsport Weekend in the Swiss Alps

The Bernina Gran Turismo is much more than a classic car event.

It is a celebration of the relationship between extraordinary automobiles and one of Europe’s most spectacular mountain roads.

The event takes place on the legendary Bernina Pass, with its dramatic alpine landscape creating a natural stage for historic motorsport.

From the first roar of an engine at La Rösa to the ascent towards Ospizio Bernina, the experience combines mechanical precision, driving skill and the unmistakable atmosphere of classic racing.

In 2026, Bernina Gran Turismo returns from Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 13, continuing a modern tradition that has established the event as a meeting point for an international community of automotive enthusiasts.

Rough Luxury on Wheels

Bernina Gran Turismo describes its philosophy as “Rough Luxury.”

It is an idea that feels perfectly at home in the Engadin.

Luxury here is not simply about perfection.

It is about authenticity.

The patina of a historic automobile.

Weathered leather.

The sound of an engine echoing between the mountains.

Crisp alpine air.

And the pleasure of sharing these moments with people who understand the passion behind them.

It is a form of luxury that cannot simply be displayed.

It has to be experienced.

Precision or Competition: Two Ways to Experience the Race

Bernina Gran Turismo brings together drivers with different approaches to historic motorsport through two distinct categories.

The Regularity category focuses on precision driving and tactical timing, rewarding consistency and control.

The Competition category places direct competition and performance at the centre of the experience.

Together, they create a fascinating contrast between precision and speed while celebrating the engineering, history and character of exceptional automobiles.

For spectators, collectors and automotive enthusiasts, it offers the opportunity to see remarkable machines being experienced as they were intended — on the road and surrounded by one of Europe’s most dramatic landscapes.

A Legacy of Exceptional Automobiles

The calibre of the automobiles associated with Bernina Gran Turismo gives an indication of what makes this gathering so distinctive.

The 2025 edition brought together 51 exceptional vehicles on the 5.7-kilometre course between La Rösa and Ospizio Bernina.

Among them were remarkable examples of automotive history, including the 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB SEFAC Competition and 1971 Porsche 908/10/03.

The event also saw the Bugatti Bolide driven on a public road for the first time.

While the specific vehicles participating in 2026 will create their own chapter in the history of the event, Bernina Gran Turismo’s tradition makes it an essential weekend for collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional automobiles.

More Than Motorsport

What makes Bernina Gran Turismo particularly special is the community surrounding it.

Collectors meet entrepreneurs.

Drivers meet enthusiasts.

Racing legends share the same alpine environment with guests who have travelled from around the world.

Carefully curated hospitality, culture and extraordinary scenery transform the event into something much greater than a race.

For many visitors, the cars may be the reason for travelling to the Engadin.

But St. Moritz becomes the reason to stay.

Stay in Your Own Private Residence in St. Moritz

An extraordinary automotive weekend deserves an equally exceptional place to return to.

With Elite Estates St. Moritz, guests attending Bernina Gran Turismo can stay in carefully selected luxury residences offering privacy, comfort and independence.

Rather than adapting your visit to a conventional hotel itinerary, your private residence becomes your personal base in the Alps.

Begin the morning surrounded by the quiet of St. Moritz.

Spend the day experiencing the atmosphere and excitement of Bernina Gran Turismo.

Then return to the privacy of your own residence.

Whether travelling individually, as a couple, with family, friends or fellow collectors, our team can help identify a property suited to your lifestyle and the way you wish to experience the weekend.

Concierge Service: Your Stay, Personally Curated

When travelling for an event as distinctive as Bernina Gran Turismo, the experience should extend beyond the race itself.

Our Concierge Service is designed to complement your stay with personalised assistance, allowing you to experience St. Moritz with greater comfort, privacy and freedom.

Elite Estates Concierge Services include:

• Tailored Rental Services — hand-selected luxury residences matched to your lifestyle, preferences and privacy.
• Staff Hiring — carefully selected private chefs, housekeepers and personal assistants.
• Private Events & Dinner Planning — from intimate dinners to sophisticated private gatherings.
• Personal Shopping & Gifting — personalised assistance with exclusive boutiques, coveted brands and exceptional pieces.
• Art Advisory — access to exclusive collections, private exhibitions and curated art experiences.
• Relocation Assistance — discreet support for guests considering making St. Moritz their home.

Every experience is approached individually.

Our role is not to determine how you experience St. Moritz.

It is to make the experience you choose feel effortless.

After the Engines Fall Silent

When the day’s racing ends, another side of St. Moritz begins.

Return to your private residence and enjoy an evening created entirely around you.

Through our Staff Hiring and Private Events & Dinner Planning services, Elite Estates can assist with arranging a private chef and professional staff for an intimate dinner with family, friends or fellow automotive enthusiasts.

For those who prefer to explore St. Moritz, the evening can continue with the destination’s celebrated gastronomy and sophisticated social atmosphere.

After a day of engines, mountain roads and competition, sometimes the greatest luxury is simply privacy.

For Collectors: Art, Automobiles and Timeless Design

The appreciation of exceptional automobiles often shares something with the appreciation of art.

Both involve history.

Craftsmanship.

Provenance.

Design.

And objects capable of transcending their original purpose to become part of a legacy.

For guests interested in exploring the cultural side of St. Moritz during their visit, our Art Advisory Service can provide access to exclusive collections, private exhibitions and curated art experiences.

A weekend centred around exceptional automobiles can therefore become an exploration of design and craftsmanship in many different forms.

Discover the Other Side of St. Moritz

Bernina Gran Turismo may define the weekend, but it does not need to define your entire stay.

September offers a remarkable opportunity to experience the Engadin beyond the event.

Spend time discovering St. Moritz.

Explore the surrounding lakes and mountains.

Enjoy exceptional dining.

Discover art and culture.

Visit its exclusive boutiques.

Or simply spend a quiet afternoon enjoying your residence and the alpine landscape.

With Elite Estates as your base, your itinerary can be as active — or as private — as you choose.

Extend Your Bernina Gran Turismo Weekend

Three days of historic motorsport can easily become a longer escape in the Swiss Alps.

Arrive before the event and settle into your residence.

Experience Bernina Gran Turismo from September 11 to 13.

Then remain in St. Moritz for several additional days to discover the Engadin without a schedule.

The contrast can become part of the experience.

The intensity and sound of the Bernina Pass during the event.

Followed by the silence and serenity of St. Moritz once the engines have stopped.

Both represent different expressions of the same alpine destination.

Where Automotive Heritage Meets Alpine Luxury

There is a natural connection between Bernina Gran Turismo and St. Moritz.

Both celebrate heritage without becoming trapped by it.

Both appreciate craftsmanship.

Both attract people who understand that true luxury is often found in authenticity rather than excess.

And both are deeply connected to their surroundings.

A historic automobile climbing the Bernina Pass is not simply something to watch.

It is a combination of engineering, landscape, history and emotion.

In much the same way, an exceptional residence in St. Moritz is more than somewhere to stay.

It becomes part of the experience.

From an Exceptional Weekend to Your Own Residence in St. Moritz

For some visitors, a weekend in St. Moritz becomes the beginning of a much longer relationship with the Engadin.

For guests who wish to establish a more permanent connection with the destination, Elite Estates St. Moritz also offers an exceptional portfolio of premium properties for purchase.

Our team combines discretion, local knowledge and personalised real estate advisory to help clients discover residences suited to their lifestyle and long-term vision.

Selected clients may also request access to exclusive off-market properties not publicly available.

From selecting your private residence for Bernina Gran Turismo to discovering a home of your own in the Alps, Elite Estates can accompany you throughout your journey.
