Via Claudia Augusta

The Via Claudia Augusta selects the most interesting and affordable bike tour packages for you, which are organized by various providers, and offers them to you at the same price that you would pay to the provider. You have the advantage of booking through an organization that is not profit-oriented, but serves the Via Claudia Augusta, its residents and guests.

General information

• The packages differ primarily in the starting and ending points of the cycle tour.
• In some cases, there are two packages with the same starting and ending point. One of the two packages is described as “classic”, the other as “sporty”. There are even three packages for a few routes, with the addition of the “relax” version with an extra day of adventure in the spa town of Merano. The “sporty” version covers the same distance in fewer days. In addition, transfers over the two Alpine passes (Fernpass & Reschenpass) are included in the “classic” versions, while only a short transfer over the Fernpass is included in the “sporty” versions. This means that the “sporty” versions have slightly longer daily stages to cycle and also notable ascents to conquer.
• You can choose from Donauwörth, Augsburg, Füssen and Bolzano as starting points.
• In addition to the destinations directly on the Via Claudia Augusta, such as Meran, Bozen, Verona and Quarto d'Altino near Venice, you can also cycle to the northern Lake Garda (Riva del Garda), which belongs to the Trentino region.
• The routes often follow cycle paths in traffic-calmed areas along the entire route. Some sections also run along quiet side streets and through towns. Mainly in the northern area, some sections also run on gravel roads. In the southern part of the Via Claudia Augusta, shortly after Feltre and in the area of Ponte della Priula (just before Treviso), there is no alternative but to take a busier road for about 6 km.
• The signposting along the route is very good from the north to Verona and also to Lake Garda. From Feltre to Quarto d'Altino, the official signposting leaves something to be desired. Particularly in this area, but also along the rest of the route, a specially applied marking also helps you to find your way.
