LAST WEEK TO ENTER THE COPPA DELLE ALPI BY 1000 MIGLIA 2025

There is still time to enter the fifth edition of the Coppa delle Alpi, a re-enactment of the speed race that in 1921 for the first time saw a group of daring drivers cover “2300 harsh kilometres”, as a poster of the time described them, through the pitfalls of the then inhospitable Alpine terrain, devoid of infrastructure but full of the dangers that only the wildest mountains can offer.

The Coppa delle Alpi is the competition that best embodies the daring, free and gritty spirit of the Red Arrow’s most authentic soul. This year, as was the case for the first three winter editions in 2019, 2022 and 2023, it will once again be the first race of the year valid for the Italian Major Events Championship.

The race will start from Brescia, City of the 1000 Miglia, on the morning of 13 March: the crews will cover almost 900 kilometres in 3 legs travelling between Italy, Switzerland and Austria. There will be 82 Time Trials, and 6 Average Trials with 28 secret detections

St. Moritz and Brixen will host the leg finishes, but the convoy will also pass through the heart of famous localities such as Livigno and Val Mustair, in order to carry out some of the planned sporting activities, without forgetting the splendid environmental settings offered by the 11 Alpine passes and Lake Resia (after the end of the works for which it was temporarily emptied, the famous submerged bell tower rose again from the frozen lake), until the arrival at Passo del Tonale in the late afternoon of Saturday 15 March.

The winners will be awarded 7 guarantees of acceptance to the 1000 Miglia 2026.

Finally, there will be two Special Trophies in this edition: the first will be held in the afternoon of Thursday 12 March, after scrutineering, in the centre of Brescia. The format of the Città di Brescia Trophy will be a 1 vs 1 knockout challenge, appreciated by participants and spectators alike. The Ponte di Legno Trophy, on the other hand, will be held after the race at the Pista Ghiaccio Val di Sole, which will host an entertaining series of Time Trials on the snow.

The deadline for entering is 4 pm (CET) on Friday 7 February. The entry form must be filled in in the Reserved Area  of the 1000miglia.it website.
