Mountain Bike Holiday Austria and Italy - Via Claudia Mountain Biking Holiday along the ancient Via Claudia Augusta

Austria and Italy - La Via Claudia - Guided Cycling Holiday

An easy paced cycling / mountain bike holiday starting in Austria and finishing at Lake Garda in Italy, for those wishing to experience the beauty of the Austrian and Italian Alps in style.

This holiday is concentrated along Via Claudia Augusta, a 2000 year old Roman built road which was, for many centuries, the main commercial route across the Alps. Originally used for the transportation of wine, olive oil and oysters from the Mediterranean, it now serves as the perfect cycling route.

Your cycling begins in Austria and takes in some of the most beautiful Tyrolean landscapes. From Lermoos the holiday heads off on a series of rolling forest trails and across undulating countryside trails, before heading alongside the River Inn. We then cross the border into Italy via the Rescen Pass, and bike gently down into the Vinschgau Valley and the South Tyrol. As the holiday draws to a conclusion we enter the Etsch valley and Trento, and finally we cycle through the Sarca Valley to end at Lake Garda.

Superb hotels (3 or 4 star), many with pools and delicious evening meals are just what you need after a days cycling and complete what is an impressive cycling holiday package.
