Via Clau­dia Augus­ta — From Augs­burg to Venice

Start­ing at 2,299 per person

  • Duration: 13 Days
  • Total distance: approx. 575 km
  • Altitude: (+) 3587 m
  • Altitude: (-) 7215 m
  • Difficulty:
It all began around 2000 years ago — the Roman gene­ral Dru­sus built a pass road over the Alps. This enorm­ous struc­tu­re, the Via Clau­dia Augus­ta, was com­ple­ted after a con­s­truc­tion peri­od of around 60 years — a true mas­ter­pie­ce of anci­ent engi­nee­ring. The Romans thus crea­ted the first real moun­tain road over the Alps. Today, the Via Clau­dia Augus­ta offers cyclists one of the most impres­si­ve, but also one of the most lei­su­re­ly crossings of the Alps and at the same time allows you to get to know the for­mer Roman domain from its most beau­tiful side at a plea­sant pace. During this tour, you will cycle the rou­te from Augs­burg to Venice.

Howe­ver, Augs­burg beca­me known as the “Fug­ger City”. A visit to the Fug­ge­rei, the oldest social housing in the world still in use today, is almost a must.

Via the marb­le vil­la­ge of Lasa/Laas, you then reach Naturno/Naturns and final­ly, past the striking Castelbello/Kastelbell Cast­le, the spa town of Merano/Meran.

From the­re, the rou­te leads uphill along a road with an easi­ly mana­geable gra­di­ent, befo­re final­ly rea­ching the his­to­ri­cal­ly very important town of Felt­re via Arsie and Fon­z­a­so. (Vari­ant wit­hout trans­fer approx. 90 km)

In any case, the quiet litt­le town of Pie­ve di Soli­go is an ide­al place to relax and unwind.

Day 12
Pie­ve di Soli­go — Quar­to dAltino/Venice

Additional information

Natu­re of the Tour
The rou­tes often run along very beau­tiful, com­ple­te­ly traf­fic-cal­med cycle paths. Howe­ver, some sec­tions also run along quiet side roads and local tho­rough­fa­res. Main­ly in the nor­t­hern area, a few sec­tions also run along gra­vel paths. In the south, espe­ci­al­ly short­ly after Felt­re and in the Pon­te del­la Priu­la area (short­ly befo­re Tre­vi­so), you have to take a road with hea­vier traf­fic for about 6 km due to a lack of alter­na­ti­ves. Most­ly asphal­ted cycle paths and farm tracks as well as less fre­quen­ted side roads and local roads; bet­ween Felt­re and Quar­to dAl­ti­no 2 x 5 km on roads with hea­vier traffic.
Trans­fer
Use of the Via Clau­dia shut­tle trans­fer to com­for­ta­b­ly mana­ge the 2 pass crossings from Reut­te and Lan­deck as well as bet­ween Tren­to and Levico Ter­me­Train jour­ney from Quar­to dAl­ti­no to Venice
Child­ren
Sui­ta­ble for child­ren from approx. 12 years of age (assum­ing a cor­re­spon­ding enthu­si­asm for cycling)
Return trans­fer
Return trans­fer from Quar­to de Alti­no to Augs­burg every Thurs­day. For groups of 5 or more, cus­tom depar­tu­re times are also available upon request. Return trip by train: The train rou­te from Venice (Vene­zia San­ta Lucia or Mest­re) to Augs­burg Cen­tral Sta­ti­on is appro­xi­m­ate­ly 340 km and takes about 7.5 to 8 hours, depen­ding on the con­nec­tion. You’ll usual­ly need to chan­ge trains at least once, often in Inns­bruck or Munich, for exam­p­le. You can gene­ral­ly bring your bike, but on long-distance trains such as Euro­ci­ty, Rail­jet, or IC, you’ll need a bike ticket and a man­da­to­ry space reser­va­ti­on for your bike, as space is limi­t­ed. It’s best to book the­se direct­ly when purcha­sing your ticket via the DB or ÖBB app or on bahn.de. On sec­tions of the rou­te tra­ve­led by regio­nal trains, bicy­cles are usual­ly allo­wed wit­hout a reser­va­ti­on, though space is not gua­ran­teed. Fol­ding bicy­cles are con­side­red car­ry-on lug­ga­ge and can gene­ral­ly be brought on board wit­hout an addi­tio­nal bicy­cle ticket. 
Other Infor­ma­ti­on
To ensu­re a stress-free start to your trip, we gene­ral­ly recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening. Some tours begin as ear­ly as noon; in tho­se cases, we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re. We’d be hap­py to book an extra night for you right away. Your indi­vi­du­al return trip takes place on the last day of the trip. The distances lis­ted are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al distances tra­ve­led. This trip is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with limi­t­ed mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.
Insu­rance

For this reason, on our cus­to­mi­zed acti­ve tours, you’ll have a local cont­act per­son who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as indi­ca­ted in your tra­vel docu­ments, will be available to assist you in case of an emergency.
