2026 Ötztal Classic

A three-day classic car rally based at the Aqua Dome in Längenfeld, the 2026 Ötztal Classic runs from 6–8 August and follows FIVA regulations. Daily start and finish are at the Aqua Dome, with the Saturday gala dinner and prizegiving held there.

The route covers high Alpine passes and Tyrolean highlights including Reschenpass/Reschensee, Meran, Timmelsjoch (night crossing), Sölden and Innsbruck, with a field limited to 90 cars.

Drive alpine passes and historic towns from a single base at the Aqua Dome.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Carefully curated three-day route that includes Timmelsjoch, Reschensee, Meran and Innsbruck’s Goldenes Dachl.
• Limited field (max 90 cars) keeps stages less crowded and easier to manage logistically.
• Official FIVA-compliant event with Saturday gala dinner and prizegiving at the Aqua Dome.

Best way to experience it:

Expect timed sections and paperwork—bring vehicle FIVA paperwork and comply with the reglement. Book accommodation and service slots early; entry nomination closes 30 June.

Good to know:

• Entry fee and deadlines: nominal entry fee listed in the reglement with early bird option and nomination deadline 30 June.
