A recommended hike for walkers with moderate fitness that leads to the summit of Monte Rest from the homonymous pass in an easy manner. The first part of the route runs along the dirt road to Casera Rest, a building used as a bivouac, located at an altitude of 1500m in a large pasture at the edge of beech and mountain pine woods. From the hut, the trail follows a clear path (CAI 826) ascending obliquely the upper meadows up to the ridge at 1610m. From there, the direct CAI trail to the nearby Forca Separeit is abandoned to follow the wide crest above. The summit is not far, marked by regional civil protection infrastructure.

After passing a panoramic bench near an old watering trough, with a final steeper stretch, you reach the mountain's peak at 1780m.

The descent is made on the same path as the ascent.

Author’s recommendation

It is better to avoid hiking during the central hours of summer days due to excessive heat. The Rest hut can be used as an emergency bivouac
