CANCELLED! Harley & Snow 2020 Hillclimbing in South Tyrol
CORONA VIRUS – In 2020, Harley and Snow will take place in Vals – Gitschberg Jochtal / South Tyrol.
CANCELLED! Harley and Snow will not take place in 2020 due to the Corona virus!
It is a beautiful ski area in South Tyrol that Harley-Davidson Bolzano in the Harley pre-season. And while we hope that it will be warmer and free of snow, the organizer is hoping for plenty of snow in the mountains of South Tyrol so that the fun will be really fun.
Because the snow is needed, without it it wouldn't be half as much fun. It is one of the most extraordinary Harley events ever when it comes to riding up the ski slopes in March with a Harley that has been specially converted for the mountains. It's not enough to just finish at the top, only whoever is the fastest in their class wins the big trophy.
Everybody can participate
Anyone who is up for it can take part with their Harley prepared for the slopes if they register in time. No license or special hill climbing proof is required. The starting order is drawn and everyone has the same opportunity to win the trophy.
However, you have to put in the work, it's not as easy as you think! Well-known customizers have already built the hottest bikes here exclusively for the race, the company itself has also been there, it's really an addictive challenge for the crazy Harley mechanic.
What was initially intended as fun can quickly release unexpected ideas and strengths. If you've been tinkering around for weeks and have screwed every single spike into the tire, you want to win at some point.
Large party tent in a dream setting
The event has grown every year and the entertainment program is usually local so as not to lose proximity to the region, there is always a high number of celebrities at the Harley and Snow event. Whether it's the presenters or autograph sessions for which Paul Teutul Sr. and Mikey have already been flown in from the USA.
Or motorsport legend Walter Röhrl , these are just a few names, because something special, such as a Harley raffle, is always offered to visitors.
2020 at a new location
