The Trento–Bondone is an Italian hillclimb competition held on the ascent from Trento to Monte Bondone, in Trentino, northern Italy. First organised by the Automobile Club Trento on 5 July 1925, its inaugural edition was essentially a timed motoring excursion, attracting 11 cars, 16 motorcycles and two motorised bicycles. Ruggero Menestrina won the automobile category, reaching Vaneze in 21 minutes 57 seconds. The event progressively developed into one of Italy's principal hillclimb competitions, although its history was interrupted on several occasions, particularly during the Second World War and between 1982 and 1987. Revived in 1950, it became an important fixture of national and international hillclimb racing and joined the European Hill Climb Championship in 1958. The established course measures 17.3 km, starting near Trento at approximately 300 metres above sea level and finishing at Vason, at around 1,650 metres. It features approximately 40 hairpin bends and an elevation gain of about 1,350 metres, making it one of the longest and most demanding hillclimbs on the international calendar. Over the decades, the event has attracted leading drivers including Wolfgang von Trips, Ludovico Scarfiotti, Peter Schetty, Mauro Nesti, Simone Faggioli and Christian Merli. Organised by Scuderia Trentina, the Trento–Bondone has continued to feature in Italian and European hillclimb competitions, including events for historic racing cars.
