FAQ

FAQ for Hiking Via Claudia Augusta to Meran

How hard is the Hiking Via Claudia Augusta to Meran Tour?

We rate this tour as a 3 / 5. You walk mainly on good walking paths, often on the so called ‘Waal paths’, ancient water systems as well as on paved sections. The paths are easy to walk, the route is undulating through lovely countryside, dotted with orchards and vineyards. Longer ascents only occur on two of the days. We recommend a good basic fitness level for walking days of up to 6.5 hours. Shortcuts of daily sections are possible by train or coach.
