Continuing its legacy as one of the most exclusive hill climb races, Bernina Gran Turismo will return to the Valposchiavo mountain pass from 11–13 September 2026. Following the success of the 2025 edition, which celebrated a decade of the event’s modern revival and a century of motorised travel across the Grisons roads, next year’s event will continue the tradition of precision and performance on the legendary Bernina Pass.
The new pre-registration procedure is now open
Passionate classic car owners and drivers are invited to apply for a place on the 2026 grid via the official Bernina Gran Turismo website. The BGT Selection Committee will review entries in two phases: the first selection will be held in February 2026, followed by a second round in June 2026, when the enrolment will officially close.

To preserve the authenticity and character of the event, the 2026 grid will once again be limited to a maximum of 70 cars. Each entry will be selected to reflect the diversity, integrity, and spirit that define Bernina Gran Turismo.
Highlights from Bernina Gran Turismo 2025
The 2025 edition brought together 51 exceptional vehicles on the 5.7-kilometre course between La Rösa and Ospizio Bernina. The grid showcased some of the most celebrated machines in automotive history: from the rare 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports to the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB SEFAC Competition, and the 1971 Porsche 908/10/03. A standout moment was the Bugatti Bolide, making its first-ever run on a public road, driven by collector Fritz Burkard, Le Mans winner and Bugatti test driver Andy Wallace, and Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac.
For the first time in its modern era, Bernina Gran Turismo also reached a global audience through live broadcasts on Swiss Sport TV and the official BGT YouTube channel, giving enthusiasts worldwide a chance to experience the sound of engines and the spectacle on the Alpine pass as it unfolded in real time.
Rough Luxury on Wheels
In 2026, Bernina Gran Turismo will once again embody Rough Luxury – a mindset where authenticity and precision coexist. It is found in the patina of a well-driven car, the exhilaration of pushing a classic car to its limits, and a glass of Franciacorta raised at the end of the day. Somewhere between the asphalt, weathered leather seats, and crisp mountain air, a style is felt that cannot be designed, it can only be lived.
From the first roar at La Rösa to the summit at Ospizio Bernina, Bernina Gran Turismo 2026 will be another unforgettable ascent and a celebration of the soul of classic motorsport.
Enrolment to Bernina Gran Turismo 2026 is now open and can be accessed here.
