St. Moritz “THE ICE”

As the lake of St. Moritz freezes over winter, a gathering of automotive enthusiasts congregate towards the Swiss Alps. This is the time of year where we can appreciate the history and mechanical excellence of these extremely valuable cars. As the engines spark a roar into the crisp Swiss mountain air, a new curiosity ignites within you. You feel a sense of adrenaline and excitement as you glance towards these prestigious cars in awe.

The silhouette of engine fumes evaporate beside you. You can smell rich, high-octane fuel burning - the perfume of power. Resting there in all their glory, these machines are equipped with soul, personality and legacy. The drivers fitted leather racing gloves embrace the cold precision of the metal gated stick.

Women coated in fur, sipping from their glasses poured with Sauvignon Blanc. Nearly as beautiful as the Ferrari 250 California. Lipstick as red as the Rossa Corsa paint and curves shaped like the backend of the 550 Spider.

The warm engines take one last stationary rev before escaping out onto the ice. The combustion of the V12’s and alike scream with passion. Howling at the press of acceleration. Pops and bangs echo as these pieces of art slide around the bends. The surrounding crowd basks in their elegance. To your realisation, you’re walking on water.

There you stand, taking in every last ounce of artistry. The art that only gets better with time. And here now, these timeless cars seizing your attention. Nothing else matters. All is forgotten except your focus on this life’s moment. Treasure it.

Here you are, The ICE, St. Moritz Switzerland.
