From September 1st to 4th, the Louis Vuitton Dolomites Classic Run 2026 reignites the spirit of the grand tour, blending automotive excellence with the House’s legendary savoir-faire.
The Louis Vuitton Classic Run is a long-standing tradition for the Maison since 1993, covering challenging routes from the lush Malaysian jungle and rubber plantations in the 1993 Vintage Equator Run to the ancient oak forests of Bohemia in the 2006 Boheme Run from Budapest to Prague via Vienna. The last Classic Run, the Serenissima Run in 2012, ended in Venice, exactly where the Louis Vuitton Dolomites Classic Run 2026 will start in September.
Over the course of four days, the Louis Vuitton Classic Dolomites Run 2026 will transform into a moving gallery of art, heritage, and discovery. The prestigious regularity race brings together an extraordinary lineup of vintage cars curated from the world’s finest private collections. Navigating the scenic routes will be the owners themselves, including notable pioneering women collectors, competing in a masterful display of precision driving.

Through initiatives like artwork conservation and museum restoration, the House helps protect these historic landmarks and ensures their legacy is preserved for future generations. On September 2nd, the journey will start from one of the most enchanting estates of the Venetian mainland, Villa Pisani in Stra, unfolding through the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites. The designed route, shaped as a tribute to Louis Vuitton’s “Art of Travel”, will take drivers 600 kilometres over two days, crossing dramatic mountain passes, winding roads, and cinematic scenery.

The journey culminates on September 4th at Monza’s “Temple of Speed”. In a breathtaking collision of heritage and modern engineering, the participating cars will parade on the the iconic Autodromo Nazionale di Monza circuit during the opening of Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix™. Nearby, inside the historic Parco di Monza, the neoclassical Villa Reale will host a public exhibition of these extraordinary vehicles in its grand forecourt.

From Venice to Monza, the journey concludes in Milan at the historic Castello Sforzesco for the grand finale. Here, the winner will be awarded a bespoke trophy designed by Sabine Marcelis and crafted by the prestigious Italian art glass house, Venini. Transported in a custom Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk—a tradition of sporting excellence dating back to 1988—this final milestone beautifully reaffirms the House’s legendary ethos: “Victory Travels in Louis Vuitton.”
