Friday, 12 September

I LEG:
Seefeld
Saalfelden-Leogang
From the high plateau to the heart of the Alps – a stage between elegance and the forces of nature
Seefeld in Tyrol

Situated on a sunny high plateau, Seefeld unfolds its alpine charm with an impressive blend of sophisticated elegance and rustic Tyrolean tradition. The autumnal colours of September lend the surrounding peaks and forests a special magic – the perfect starting point for a stylish journey through the Alps.

Zillertaler Höhenstraße

This high alpine road, one of the most beautiful panoramic roads in Austria, is like an endless viewing balcony. Curve after curve, the view opens up over the Zillertal Alps – to rugged cliffs, lush alpine pastures and distant glaciers. When you drive here, you not only feel the road, but also the amazement that every bend brings.

Gerlospass

A pass like a picture-postcard motif. The Gerlos Pass not only connects Tyrol with Salzburg, but also the raw beauty of the mountains with technical sophistication. The views of the valleys are spectacular – an alpine masterpiece that makes drivers’ heartsbeat faster.

Krimml Waterfalls

With a thunderous roar, the water plunges 380 metres down three levels. The power of nature is on full display here – a moment that inspires awe and is a fascinating contrast to the tranquillity of the Porsche cockpit.

Mittersill

Mittersill lies nestled between the mighty Hohe Tauern mountains and the gentle Kitzbühel Alps, a haven of peace. The landscape is varied, gentle and wild at the same time – green hills meet snow-capped peaks, and time seems to slow down for a moment.

Kleiner Dientnersattel

Hidden yet spectacular: the Kleine Dientnersattel is a real insider tip among Alpine passes. At an altitude of 1,370 metres, it offers a sweeping view of the majestic Hochkönig massif – a route that delights drivers and landscape lovers alike.

Saalfelden

This alpine town is nestled in a wide valley, framed by dramatic rock formations such as the Steinernes Meer and the Leogang Alps. Driving through here feels like being in a natural theatre – every bend reveals a new panorama, every change in light creates a new picture.

Leogang

Surrounded by rugged limestone mountains, forests and alpine pastures, Leogang is the epitome of alpine authenticity. The town combines an alpine lifestyle with exclusive hospitality – the perfect end to a stage that was not just driven, but experienced.

Salzkammergut with the Salzburg lake district

This region is more than just a landscape – it is a feeling. Between crystal-clear lakes, rolling hills and rugged mountains, a picture-perfect backdrop unfolds that is both powerful and calming. Here you can experience Austria in its purest, most beautiful form – every turn a postcard motif. In the heart of Austria, between the Salzburg region and the northern borders of the Salzkammergut, lie Mattsee and Obertrumer See, some of the most charming lakes in the country, surrounded by rolling hills and small villages full of charm.

Salzburg

Salzburg welcomes visitors with baroque elegance and an atmosphere steeped in history. The towers of the cathedral, the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the cobblestone streets of the old town tell the story of a city that once inspired composers, emperors and visionaries – and still does today. A fitting end to an extraordinary journey.

II Leg: Leogang – Salisburgo
Highlights for the finale – a stage through alpine drama, historic backdrops and cultural elegance
Königssee

Like an emerald, Königssee lies nestled in the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park – calm, clear and deep. The steep rock faces that surround it are reflected on its glassy surface, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. Driving along here, you are immersed in a world where nature and tranquillity take on a new quality.

Rossfeld Panoramastraße

This road is a driver’s dream: it winds its way up to 1,570 metres in sweeping curves and rewards you with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Alpine foothills, Salzburg and the wide Salzach Valley. Every metre of altitude opens up new perspectives – a place that inspires wonder and makes your heart beat faster.

Hallein

The town on the Salzach river is like a treasure chest from times gone by. Narrow streets, baroque façades and the echoes of centuries of history permeate the old town. Between old salt mines and lively culture, you can feel a special warmth here – a place that touches you because it is authentic, not staged.

GALA DINNER

SALZBURG, 13 SEPTEMBER

An evening for legends – where passion meets style

After days spent on the most beautiful roads in the Alps, the Porsche Challenge Austria ends with a highlight that is every bit as exclusive as the event itself: the gala dinner, where elegance and excellence come together in one of the most breathtaking locations in Salzburg – a tribute to style, precision and the special partnership between Porsche and the 1000 Miglia Warm Up Austria.
Amidst the baroque backdrop of Salzburg, on the spectacular panoramic terrace of the M32 on the Mönchsberg, participants experience an evening full of emotions. The view over the city rooftops, the cathedral and the Hohensalzburg fortress provides the perfect stage for a stylish finale.
As culinary sophistication meets excellent hospitality, the stage winners and the most memorable moments of the race will be honoured. But more than the prizes, it is the shared spirit that counts on this evening: a passion for technology, tradition and beauty – values that have always united Porsche and 1000 Miglia.
This night is not an ending, but a memory – of an extraordinary journey, of encounters between equals and of the power of great brands when they write history together.
