From Bavaria to the romantic Lake Garda - on this crossing of the Alps LIGHT you will master even the highest passes with organized transfers without any effort. The magnificent panoramic bike tour passes orchards and apple meadows, castles and monasteries and is thus also highly interesting from a cultural and historical point of view.
The mighty Via Claudia Augusta pass road is a true feat of ancient engineering. The Romans created this first real mountain road over the Fern and Reschen Passes. Today it is one of the most remarkable Alpine crossings and allows cyclists to get to know the former domain of the Romans from its most beautiful sides. To finally reach Lake Garda by bike, you leave the Via Claudia route after Rovereto and finally reach the beautiful Lake Garda via Mori and Torbole/Riva.
This tour also exists in an athletic variant! Explore all of our tours on the → Via Claudia Augusta

Route Augsburg – Riva del Garda (11 days)
Day 1: Augsburg
Individual arrival.
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 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 – Region Schongau, approx. 40 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.
