Via Claudia Augusta – Initial Notes About 2000 years ago the adopted son of imperator Augustus, General Drusus realized over his military career the significance of well-maintained and quickly passable transport routes from the northern Roman provinces to the Mediterranean.

For that reason it was more than necessary to build a pass road to link the northern and southern parts of the empire divided by the Alps. The Via Claudia Augusta, completed within 60 years, is an exemplary sample of Roman construction and a masterpiece of antique engineering. With this road, the Romans had built the first proper mountain road across the Fern Pass and the Reschen Pass.

Nowadays the Via Claudia Augusta enables cyclists to experience a unique and stunning crossing of the Alps and to get to know the most beautiful sides of the former Roman domain. And thanks to organized transfers across the two passes you can do so without too much effort. Of course, it's still your choice whether to use the transfers or to use your own muscle strength.

The variety of different landscapes along the Via Claudia Augusta and also the many options offered make this bicycle tour a unique adventure which you have to experience for yourself!

Most travel offers of the following document are offered as either „Classic“ or „Sporty“ variation. The defining difference between the two versions is that the „Classic“ variations include transfers across both the Fern Pass as well as the Reschen Pass while the „Sporty“ variations only include a shorter transfer across Fern Pass. Also the daily stages of the “Sporty” variations are a bit longer and also include some serious uphill riding. We offer Augsburg, Füssen and Bolzano as tour starting cities on a weekly basis. In case you would like to ride the Via Claudia Augusta from the Danube to the Adriatic See we also offer Donauwörth as an additional starting point on selected dates. Aside the tour ending cities of Bolzano, Verona and Quarto d'Altino which are actually part of the Via Claudia Augusta, we also offer to end your tour at Lake Garda (at Riva del Garda or Peschiera del Garda).

The tours mostly runs along paved cycling paths and rural roads as well as less travelled back roads and village roads. Mainly on the northern part of the Via Claudia Augusta the paths can be on gravel some times. On the southern part, shortly before Feltre as well as in the area of Ponte della Priula (shortly before Treviso), you have to ride approx. 6 km on a well frequented road both times.

There are numerous signposts along the tour from the north down to Verona or also to Lake Garda. Between Feltre and Quarto d'Altino the official signposts are quite rare but especially in that area as well as along the whole tour, you can easily find the track with our own signs (you will read more about that after having booked) and therefore you can enjoy the surroundings and variation in landscapes.

We hope you enjoy „studying“ the following offers and would be happy to „go along with you“ along the Via Claudia Augusta and help you with our services. Changes and errors excepted.

From Augsburg to Bolzano Variation “Classic“

Bookable as individual tour – 9 Days | 8 Nights, approx. 335 km In a nutshell | Distinctive Features

- Mostly paved cycling paths and rural roads as well as less travelled back roads and village roads - Shuttle transfer to conveniently manage two challenging mountain passes as of Reutte and Landeck - Additional extra nights in Merano are also available - also for children from the age of 10 (high amount of cycling enthusiasm required) Arrival

Every Saturday from May 1st to September 15th 2018 – Special dates available on request Day 1: Individual journey to Augsburg

Visit of the Roman provincial capital „Augusta Vindelicorum“ Day 2: Augsburg – Landsberg (approx. 50 km)

The place name Augsburg derives from the Roman name of the town „Augusta Vindelicorum“, which was founded in 15 B.C. under the rule of Emperor Augustus. Augsburg’s popularity however, was established with its role as a Fugger town. Therefore, a visit of the Fuggerei, which is the world’s oldest project for social housing still in use today, is almost a must. The stage to Landsberg is thought to be a comfy „run in“ on almost flat terrain. Day 3: Landsberg – Schongau (approx. 45 km)

On the horizon you can already see the Alps but you get to enjoy the beauty of the region Pfaffenwinkel first. Schongau features a picturesque old town and almost completely preserved town walls. Day 4: Schongau – Füssen/Schwangau (approx. 40 km)

Having left the old town of Schongau the cycling path along River Lech takes you into the Tyrol. Before heading over the border from Germany to Austria the beautiful fairy tale-like Neuschwanstein castle awaits you. Day 5: Füssen/Schwangau – Imst (approx. 40 km | without Transfer approx. 70 km)

Today the tour takes us from Füssen to Reutte. From there our transfer brings you across Fern Pass in a comfortable way. From Fernstein castle you cycle past Nassereith and through the picturesque Gurgltal Valley to Imst. A “beery” adventure awaits you at the microbrewery at Starkenberg castle. Day 6: Imst – Burgusio/Malles/Glorenza (approx. 55 km | without Transfer approx. 105 km)

After a hearty breakfast you cycle from Imst to Landeck. From there we take the shuttle up to Nauders. Soon afterwards you cross the border to Italy at Reschen pass and with it the main Alpine ridge. You cycle downwards towards Malles past Reschenstausee reservoir with the sunken church tower of Altgraun, one of the most famous photo motifs of Italy. Enjoy the first evening on South Tyrolean soil and enjoy strolling through the old alleyways of the town. Day 7: Burgusio/Malles/Glorenza – Merano (approx. 65 km)

Today you cross the entire Val Venosta. The route leads from an altitude of more than 1,000m down to the town of Merano that is located at an altitude of 350m. Most of the route follows the course of River Adige. From your starting place this pleasant cycling stretch leads down to the smallest town of the Alps, the town of Glorenza. Past the marble town of Laas you get to Naturns and eventually – past the impressive Kastellbell castle – to the spa town of Merano. Enjoy an evening walk through town along the “Passer” promenade surrounded by subtropical flora.

The place name Augsburg derives from the Roman name of the town „Augusta Vindelicorum“, which was founded in 15 B.C. under the rule of Emperor Augustus. Augsburg’s popularity however, was established with its role as a Fugger town. Therefore, a visit of the Fuggerei, which is the world’s oldest project for social housing still in use today, is a must. Schongau features a picturesque old town and almost completely preserved town wall. The stage to Landsberg is thought to be a comfy „run in“ on almost flat terrain. Day 3: Landsberg – Schongau (approx. 45 km) On the horizon you can already see the Alps but you get to enjoy the beauty of the region Pfaffenwinkel first. Schongau features a picturesque old town and almost completely preserved town walls. Day 4: Schongau – Füssen/Schwangau (approx. 40 km)

Having left the old town of Schongau the cycling path along River Lech takes you into the Tyrol. Before heading over the border from Germany to Austria the beautiful fairy tale-like Neuschwanstein castle awaits you. Day 5: Füssen/Schwangau – Imst (approx. 40 km | without Transfer approx. 70 km)

Enjoy the first evening on South Tyrolean soil and enjoy strolling through the old alleyways of the town. Day 7: Burgusio/Malles/Glorenza – Merano (approx. 65 km)

Today you cross the entire Val Venosta. The route leads from an altitude of more than 1,000m down to the town of Merano that is located at an altitude of 350m.

Day 8: Merano – Lake Caldaro Region/Ora (approx. 50 km)

There is plenty to see along this route: Niederlana’s famous Schnatterpeckaltar, the largest Gothic wing altar in the Alpine area, the highest church tower of the South Tyrol in Terlan and a great number of fortresses and ruins on both valley slopes.
