ADAC Gardasee Klassik, four dream days in Garda Trentino
From September 14 to 19, the fascinating event returns with vintage cars exploring wonderful places and savoring local delicacies: a journey that celebrates the joy of life.
Travel like in a dream, without the rush of time, with the sole aim of enjoying everything beautiful and delicious that a wonderful area can offer. This is the ADAC Gardasee Klassik, organized by the North Rhine-Westphalia section of ADAC (the German Automobile Club) for the approximately 70 registered vintage cars, authentic gems to be admired as they parade through the roads of Garda Trentino.
The program consists of four days, from September 14 to 19, starting at 9 AM with the cars departing from Riva del Garda and ending at 3 PM or later, always in Riva del Garda in Piazza III Novembre. These old-timers will explore magnificent routes covering a large portion of Trentino and Lake Garda.
This event brings a festive atmosphere to the Trentino roads, with the public watching from the roadside, admiring with a hint of envy the approximately 140 participants in this true celebration of the joy of life. It’s not a car race but a leisurely journey, allowing participants to enjoy the landscapes, stop to breathe in the atmosphere, and experience moments that feel almost out of time, renewing forgotten emotions with the timeless beauty of these meticulously restored vintage cars.
Another highlight of the ADAC Gardasee Klassik are the scheduled stops, where all the crews come together along the day’s route to visit historical sites of particular significance and, of course, indulge in the gastronomic delights for which Garda Trentino is famous.
