Schwägalp Classic Car Meet: Nostalgia Against an Alpine Backdrop
Experience a touch of nostalgia at the foot of the Säntis! The Schwägalp Classic Car Meet is a highlight for all lovers of vintage cars and classic engineering. Every year, the parking lot of the Säntis Cable Car transforms into a gleaming open-air museum when around 200 to 300 classic cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles gather.

Here’s what awaits you:

A variety of vehicles: Marvel at lovingly restored classics—from elegant sedans to rugged motorcycles and historic post buses.

Säntis Concours: A special highlight where a panel of experts and the audience select the most beautiful vehicles.

Festive atmosphere: A food and beverage stand provides refreshments, often accompanied by live music, making the event an experience for the whole family.

Stunning backdrop: The drive over the mountain pass and the location directly beneath the imposing north face of the Säntis offer a unique photo backdrop.

Visitor Information:

Next Date: Sunday, June 7, 2026 (starting around 9:00 a.m.).

Admission: Admission to the festival grounds is generally free for visitors without a classic car.

Directions & Parking: Since the event attracts large crowds when the weather is nice, visitors are advised to arrive early or use the parking facilities at the top of the pass.

Participation: Anyone wishing to participate with a classic car (vehicles 20 years or older) must generally register in advance.

Whether you have petrol running through your veins or simply want to enjoy a trip to the Appenzell mountains—the Schwägalp Classic Car Meet offers a charming journey back in time in one of Switzerland’s most beautiful regions.
