The Romans chose the route over the Fernpass and Reschenpass for the first road across the Alps to connect Europe for a reason. It is one of the easiest Alpine crossings. Today, the shuttles for cyclists and bikes up and over the larger hills make the Via Claudia Augusta the easiest Alpine crossing for touring cyclists. Thanks to the bike shuttles, the cycle route in the footsteps of the Romans is also suitable for families and fit pensioners without an e-bike. Please note that there are bike shuttles that only run on demand and must be booked in advance. However, most bike shuttles are public transportation with bike transport options. Below you will find all bike shuttles from north to south and - where possible - booking options. As a special treat, we have also described at the beginning the possibility of traveling by boat on the tracks of the Via Claudia Augusta across Lake Forggensee to the Alps, and at the end the possibility of traveling by boat on historical tracks, through beautiful nature from Altino through the lagoon to Venice, both unique experiences.
