Crossing the Alps in Style

The Rallye des Alpes has its roots in one of the oldest rallies in the history books, the Austrian Alpenfahrt first organised in 1910. The organisers used some of the toughest passes they could find and it was not always certain that the cars would get up the hills without being pushed by locals or pulled by horses. The Alpenfahrt developed quickly and attracted big names and big marques. This year celebrating its 100th anniversary, the Rally is today an event for lovers of beautiful alpine scenery, while at the same time retaining the rally’s sense of sporting adventure with daily stages of less than 300 km.
