The historic car hill climb towards Cansiglio, valid for the Italian Mountain Speed Championship
The Cronoscalata Vittorio Veneto–Cansiglio is an uphill car race with a great tradition, whose origins date back to 1924: with over a hundred years of history, it is among the longest-running motorsport events in the national scene. The race takes place near Vittorio Veneto, in the province of Treviso, climbing towards the Cansiglio plateau.
The course runs along Provincial Road 422 for about 5,930 meters, with an elevation gain of 450 meters and an average gradient of 7.65%. A course described as "insidious and selective", which tests drivers through curves and hairpin bends, from the start in Mezzavilla to the finish in Valsalega, in the municipality of Fregona.
The hill climb is valid for the Italian Mountain Speed Championship (CIVM) Nord and is organized by the Automobile Club Treviso according to ACI Sport regulations. After the stop in 2025, caused by a landslide on SP422, the race returns with an edition dubbed "the hill climb of redemption", confirming the strong bond between this competition and the Marca Trevigiana territory.
The 2026 edition, the 43rd in the series, brings back the historic hill climb after the 2025 cancellation due to a landslide on Provincial Road 422. The race weekend, from July 31 to August 2, is dedicated to technical checks, practice runs, and the actual competition, which concludes on Sunday, August 2. The 5,930-meter track between Mezzavilla and Valsalega, with a 450-meter elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.65%, is valid for the Northern Italian Mountain Speed Championship. The organization is handled by the Automobile Club Treviso, with Stefano Torcellan as race director.
Vittorio Veneto can be reached by car from the A27 motorway and by train. The race track runs along the SP422 between Mezzavilla and Valsalega; during the event, the road is closed to traffic.
Race by registration for competitors, accessible to the public along the route according to the organization's instructions.
