Alberto Aliverti and Sergio Carrara claimed overall victory at the Coppa delle Alpi St Moritz Edition, sealing a hard-fought win in a 1937 Fiat 508 C after three days of mixed conditions and more than 600km of regularity competition.
The 2026 running of the winter event began under clear skies, with more than 60 crews tackling early tests around Madulain, Zuoz and Cava di Montebello before the traditional challenges of the St Moritz Trophy on the Celerina bob run.
Conditions remained unseasonably mild through the second leg, the longest of the rally at approximately 275km. The route crossed into Italy via Bormio before climbing the Foscagno and Eira passes at more than 2200 metres, then on to the ice tests at Livigno. By the end of the day, the leaderboard remained closely contested, with several crews still in contention.
The decisive moment came on the final leg, when heavy snowfall returned to the Engadine, transforming the character of the event.
Aliverti and Carrara’s victory was built on steady progression. After finishing fourth after the opening leg, they climbed to third before delivering a near-flawless final day to overtake early leaders Francesco and Giuseppe Di Pietra, who ultimately finished second in a 1938 Fiat 508 C. Third place went to Gianmario Fontanella and Anna Maria Covelli in a 1930 Fiat 514 S, who also secured the St Moritz Trophy.
In total, crews covered around 630km, completing 80 time trials, six average-speed tests and a series of passage and time controls.
Further honours included the Ladies’ Cup for Lucilla Sartori and Emanuela De Gressi in a 1955 Austin-Healey 100, while a number of coveted entries for the 2027 1000 Miglia – its centenary edition – were awarded to top-performing crews.
