Among the Oldtimer Rallyes, the \u201cS\u00fcdtirol Classic Schenna\u201d has for a long time numbered among the legends. On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, the town just above Merano rolls out the red carpet for the successful event and its (regular) guests from 05th to 12th July 2026 accompanied by a very special program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The festivities embrace, among other things, the huge Anniversary Party at village centre, the festive Corso on the Kurpromenade as well as the gala dinner in the Kurhaus of Merano. The centrepiece of the \u201dRallye of Sympathy\u201c nevertheless remains the roadsters and speedsters which have been polished to ultimate degree of lustre for the cruise through the Dolomites, into the Trentino and, of course, back to the centre of Schenna to roll down the catwalk, put themselves in the spotlight, on show for their owners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\"S\u00fcdtirol<\/a><\/span>

Mountains, palm trees, chrome and enjoyment<\/h2>\n

This unparalleled combination brings decades of success in the \u201cS\u00fcdtirol Classic Schenna\u201d to a pinnacle point. Because quite apart from the stopwatch on the alpine-mediterranean drive through imposing Dolomite summits, luscious green vineyards and the brilliant sunshine of glistening lakes, it is the fun and joy which are in the foreground. The degree of fun the participants feel in participating is visible, at latest, at the retro-defil\u00e9e on the \u201ccatwalk\u201d of the sophisticated Kurpromenade of Merano on 10th July 2026. They take their bow on the big stage, both pilots and passengers will present themselves in true stylishness of the year of construction of their particular automobile on the Auto-Corso, accompanied by music, dance and a whiff of nostalgia.<\/p>\n

And for whomever the path is the goal, the next day, the intervals and breaks of the meticulously selected culinary stopovers along the way are all a part of the overall whole. Also on the occasion of the anniversary of the legendary rallye 2026, whoever might invite the participants exclusively to enter the portals to a Welcome Evening at the festively illuminated and decorated inner courtyard of the Schenna Castle. And outside of that, to take part in an extended festive table of South Tyrolean specialties beneath the arcades of the wine village on Neumarkt Square. There promises to be unlimited \u201cGlitter & Glamour\u201d \u2013 after all, all participants will be celebrating this Classic Saturday for the last time at the Merano Kurhaus. In addition to the multi-course dinner, there will be live music, show acts and, of course, the celebratory awards ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/span>
