This alpine‑to‑plains section of the Via Romea Germanica runs from Augsburg across Bavarian and Tyrolean valleys, over an alpine pass, then down through South Tyrol into the Veneto plain toward Padua. May, August, and September often align clearer high routes with workable temperatures as the terrain steps from cooler uplands into warmer lowlands. Conditions remain changeable throughout, with cloudier, wetter phases alternating with bright intervals, cooler snaps capable of dusting the highest paths, and heat and late‑day thunderstorms more typical farther south.
