Passo Rest | 1052 METER | Priuso Tramonti di Sopra
A little-travelled pass in the southern, eastern Alps. Although it is just over 1000 metres high, it is still very attractive to drive on. 36 bends on both ramps, the asphalt is grippy and in good condition. The route mostly leads through forested areas, but there are still plenty of views – especially on the north side of the pass. The Passo Rest or Forcella di Mont Rest or Forcula di Mont Rest can easily be combined with the Passo Pura (Lago di Sauris) to the north, Sella di Razzo, Sella di Rioda and the Sella Chiampon to the south-west. This route is a good alternative on weekends, holidays and vacations, as it is not very busy.
