Susanna Rohr and Stefano Ginesi clinched first place in the Coppa delle Alpi 1000 Miglia 2024, marking the end of an extraordinary 1,600-kilometer journey along the Alpine ridge that spanned seven countries in the macro-region. This thrilling race comprised 90 time trials and 18 medium difficulty challenges, pushing the 30 participating crews to their limits.
The morning of the final day began with an unforgettable awards ceremony at 9:30 am. Stefano Ginesi and Susanna Rohr secured victory behind the wheel of a 1934 Fiat 508 S Balilla. The Belgian team of Decremer-Mertens took second place with their 1951 Aston Martin Db2, while Carrara and Consoli claimed the third spot with their 1953 Jaguar XK 120 Ots.
Following the prize-giving, an insightful final conference commenced, shedding light on the thematic itinerary of the event. During this session, a team of experts handpicked by 1000 Miglia, driving eight historic cars in tandem with the convoy, engaged with local institutions and representatives of best practices in the regions explored. Alberto Piantoni, CEO of 1000 Miglia Srl, introduced the project, stating, “Bringing classic cars to the Alps to discuss sustainability may have seemed like a crazy idea at first. However, the audacity of 1000 Miglia lies not only in speed but in audacious thinking. Through this project, we aimed to create a network among the Alpine communities, which hold invaluable reserves of values that we wished to narrate with the aid of these technical and design masterpieces. The cities responded enthusiastically, even opening the doors of their pedestrian centers.”
The stage was then set for in-depth discussions on two overarching topics: “Traces of Place Consciousness and Best Practices in the Alpine Platform” followed by “Scenarios and Grand Challenges of the Alpine Platform.”
While this edition of Coppa delle Alpi will long be remembered, plans are already underway for the 2025 winter race, set to captivate once again. The Think Tank component of the event will embark on a separate journey, fully aware of the profound impact this expedition has left behind. Landscapes, voices, and values have imprinted an urgent call for change in the eyes of all participants, none more powerful than the image of the mer de glace of the Montenvers Refuge or rather, what remains of it.

It is important to note that the article does not provide specific market trends or forecasts related to the subject. However, based on the increasing popularity of classic car rallies and the continued interest in unique and challenging events, it can be anticipated that the Coppa delle Alpi 1000 Miglia and similar races will continue to attract participants and spectators alike.
One key advantage of the Coppa delle Alpi 1000 Miglia is its ability to bring attention to the beauty and values of the Alpine region. Through the event, local communities and institutions are engaged, highlighting sustainable practices and technical achievements. This promotes the preservation of the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
However, one potential challenge associated with such events is the impact on the environment and local infrastructure. The large number of participants and the logistics involved in organizing the race can put a strain on the regions involved.
