Arlberg Classic Car Rally

Through the Alpine scenery in nostalgic cars

Old-timers and dreamy roads. A classic combination, in the truest sense. The Arlberg Classic Car Rally attracts car lovers from near and far. In the past few years there have been 110 teams, from more than 15 nations, represented driving in their favourite motor cars. Among them some 40 pre-war veterans, tackling the loveliest Alpine roads during the 3-day rally, fostering exchange between the like-minded.

600 kilometre routes through the Alps

Three different routes await those taking part in the Arlberg Classic Car Rally, over three days. The start is the traditional prologue on the first day of the Rally weekend, that proceeds through the legendary Lech Canyon. On the days that follow, drivers head via the Hahntennjoch, into Inntal, to the Zugspitze, into Appenzeller Land and to Bodensee. In so doing, they take in the loveliest valleys in Vorarlberg, heading to Tyrol and to the Flexen pass, cross the Rhine and even visit our Swiss friends in Appenzell. In total there are some 600 kilometres of routes through dreamy Alpine backdrops and some 20 special stages on the agenda. The emphasis is not just on competition, but on the joy of driving too.

To prepare drivers and their co-drivers, a brief training course on theory and practice is held on the race day.
