The historic hill climb from Malegno to Borno
The Vallecamonica Trophy is one of the most historic and prestigious automobile hill climbs in Italy. The race takes place on the provincial road SP5 that goes from Malegno up towards Ossimo to Borno, in Valle Camonica, province of Brescia, along a track of about 9 kilometers. It is a climb that alternates very fast sections with technical, winding parts, where the car's power is as important as the driver's knowledge of the course and skill.
For decades, the Trophy has been a reference event for the Italian Championship of the specialty (CIVM/CISA — Italian Mountain Speed Championship and SuperSalita). Single-seaters, prototypes, sports cars, and GTs compete on the Borno road, along with a large representation of historic cars that delight vintage motorsport enthusiasts.
Unlike closed circuits, the hill climb is a timed race on a mountain road: each car tackles the climb individually, aiming for the best time. The crowd gathered along the sides of the SP5 experiences the race up close with the roaring cars, in an atmosphere that combines sporting adrenaline and alpine scenery.
The event is also an opportunity to discover Borno and the Altopiano del Sole, in Valle Camonica: alpine villages, nature, and tradition provide the backdrop for a weekend of sport that has captivated the Brescia region for generations.
The 2026 edition of the Vallecamonica Trophy, the fifty-fifth, takes place on the weekend of May 16-17 on the Malegno-Ossimo-Borno (BS) climb, along the approximately 9 kilometers of the SP5. The hill climb is valid for the Italian Championship of the specialty and effectively opens the tricolor hill climb season.
Entries are open through the official platform; competing are single-seaters, prototypes, sports cars, and GTs, as well as the historic car classes.
