Union Glashütte x Silvretta Classic 2026
The 28th Silvretta Classic Rallye
The rally combines automotive heritage with the breathtaking landscapes of the Alps. Rather than focusing on top speeds, the emphasis is on precision, reliability, and the enjoyment of driving historic vehicles. Participants and spectators alike experience a unique blend of automotive history, challenging routes, and stunning panoramic views along the Alpine roads.
Since its inception, the event has become a fixture in the calendars of many classic car enthusiasts. Carefully selected routes lead across some of the region’s most scenic roads, making the Silvretta Classic one of the most attractive rallies of its kind.
Teamwork, Precision and Reliability
Every year, the Silvretta Classic attracts drivers, collectors, and classic car enthusiasts from across Europe.
The field of participants ranges from elegant pre-war automobiles to iconic sports cars and carefully selected youngtimers, creating a diverse showcase of several decades of automotive history. For many participants, the rally is about more than competition alone; it is also an opportunity to enjoy their vehicles on an exceptional route and connect with like-minded enthusiasts who share a passion for classic motoring.
Unlike traditional motorsport events, success is not determined by outright speed. Instead, the focus lies on accurately maintaining prescribed times and on the close cooperation between driver and co-driver. Concentration, precise navigation, and effective teamwork are essential throughout the event. This combination of driving skill, technical precision, and scenic Alpine roads defines the distinctive character of the Silvretta Classic Rallye.
Iconic Vehicles on Alpine Roads
The first day of the rally begins in Partenen with accreditation, the technical inspection, and the drivers’ briefing. Following the starting lineup, the vehicles are sent off one after another from 11:01 a.m. on the opening 149-kilometre stage. The route takes participants through the impressive mountain scenery of the Montafon region, passing locations such as Illufer, Beschling-Latz, Göfis, and the Furkajoch pass. Along the way, several regularity tests challenge drivers and co-drivers to maintain precision and consistency. In the afternoon, the teams return to Partenen via Tschagguns, reaching the day’s finish at 2:55 p.m.
The second day represents the highlight of the rally, featuring the longest stage at 303 kilometres. Starting early in the morning from Schruns, the teams embark on the rally’s “King Stage.” The route leads through Silbertal, Muntlix, and Altstätten before reaching the midday stop at the Toggenburg Market Hall in Wattwil. The afternoon section continues via Sargans, Feldkirch, and Nenzing before arriving in Gargellen and finally Gaschurn. Numerous spectators follow the passing vehicles along the route before the participants reach the day’s finish at the traditional Därflifäscht in Gaschurn. There, the classic cars are presented, and the teams can reflect on the day’s experiences together.
On the final day, participants set off from Schruns on the closing 220-kilometre stage. This is the last opportunity for teams to improve their position in the overall standings. The route passes through St. Anton im Montafon, Zürs, and Häselgehr before reaching the midday stop at the restaurant “Das Landegger” in Landeck. After the break, the rally continues via Alpe Rauz and Vandans back into the Montafon valley. At 2:42 p.m., the vehicles reach the finish line on the Kirchplatz in Schruns, where spectators welcome the participants during a ceremonial vehicle parade in front of the Posthotel Taube. The event concludes with the announcement of the final results and the award ceremony, bringing to a close three days dedicated to classic automobiles, precision driving, and Alpine roads.
