History
In ancient times, the trade route across Reschen Pass was part of the Roman Via Claudia Augusta, leading from Italy across the Eastern Alps to the Raetian capital Augusta Vindelicorum (
Augsburg 
). Nauders is probably located at the site of a mansio called
Inutrium in contemporary sources.
