International Sports Car Festival 2026
International Sports Car Festival 2026 | Hotel Post in Velden
When Velden shines in June, petrol is in the air: from June 15 to 21, the town will once again be the stage for the Velden International Sports Car Festival. International sports car fans gather along the lakeside promenade and in the town center to experience legendary vehicles, especially Ferrari models, up close.
The sports car meeting is one of the fixed points in Velden’s calendar of events. The highlights of the week are the daily rides around Lake Wörthersee, the presentations in the town center and the large vehicle show, which focuses on the design, sound and history of the sports cars. A special mixture of motorsport flair, Italian elegance and summery lake feeling is created for visitors and participants alike.
Velden itself shows its liveliest side during this week: cafés, restaurants and bars become the backdrop for gleaming car bodies, relaxed conversations and spontaneous encounters with drivers from all over Europe. A visit is also worthwhile for non-car fans – the atmosphere alone makes the event a real experience.
Good to know: The center of Velden am Wörthersee is particularly lively during the Sportwagentreffen. If you appreciate short distances, flexible day planning and a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle, accommodation in a central location is a clear advantage.

Guests can easily reach many highlights of the sports car meeting at walking distance: the lakeside promenade, presentations and the lively evening program are practically on the doorstep. Perfect for all those who want to experience the sound of engines during the day and the Velden feeling in the evening.
After an eventful day, the Hotel Post offers the perfect retreat: relaxed rooms, short distances to the hotel’s own lido and a breakfast that makes it easy to start the next event day. An ideal combination of event proximity, summer vacation and uncomplicated enjoyment.
