Go down in history with this series of randonnée along the ancient Via Claudio Augusta, a road dating back to the Roman Empire, one of Europe’s longest and nicest touristic cycle routes today.
Three randonées will be held on May 3rd and 4th, 2025 on the AUDAX ARI calendar: 300 km’s from Munich to Bolzano, 300 km’s from Bolzano to Ferrara and the 600 km challenge from Munich to Ferrara: a unique way to cross Europe by bike.
And to celebrate 10 years of Rando Imperator, we are doubling the track: in 2025 you will also be able to choose the new 1200 km route, from Ferrara to Monaco and back, from 1st of May to 4th, 2025.
Two days to get from Munich to Ferrara on a bike: an idea that inspired cyclists across Italy and abroad. Participants from all over the world faced the Alps’ climbs every edition: how many of you this year? Witoor is ready to offer you an unforgettable event for its 10th edition through a mix of bike love and tourism: from Germany to Italy passing through Austria, different landscapes and views, from mountains to plains.
Participants will be a part of history pedalling through the woods of Bavaria, the Austrian dirt climbs, along rivers and breathing nature’s perfume.

2024 Edition - Pictures and video
Randonnée (literally “long-distance ride”) was born in Italy, in 1897, but established roots in France in the last century, developing a licence system that regulates events. It has returned to Italy since 1993 and a rich calendar of events is managed by Audax Italia. Randonées are non-competitive rides, they are spontaneous gatherings among cyclists that forget about stopwatches and set on long rides only driven by genuine sportsmanship.
Rando Imperator is a randonnée that follows the path of the ancient via Claudia Augusta: built during the Roman Empire, it is now a cycle touristic path that takes your breath away, crossing the Alps between Bavaria, Austria and Italy.
Witoor promotes since 2013 its own version of randonées: a more personal and less competitive use of bikes where each participant build their own story through passion, effort and enthusiasm.
Choose your Rando Imperator: 600 km from Munich to Ferrara, 300 km from Munich to Bolzano, 300 km from Bolzano to Ferrara. And to celebrate 10 years, from 2025 you can choose the 1200 km route from Ferrara to Monaco and back.
