Monte Caplone is the highest peak in the ridge between Passo Puria and Bocca di Cablone in the western Garda Mountains. A former military road connects the summit with Passo Tremalzo, although the path in the summit area has partially slipped. Daring mountain bikers value this route as a challenge. The ascent from the hamlet of Cima Rest initially passes through alpine meadows as well as beech and mixed forests. Overall, the Valvestino is a landscape full of beeches, which takes on a splendidly colorful note, especially in autumn. In late spring and summer, a lush flora thrives up there, and the mountain meadows radiate a rich green. In the summit area, the less sublime side of this mountain landscape comes to our awareness. During World War I, the front line ran here, almost identical to the border between Austria and Italy at that time. Decayed positions, rock tunnels, and trenches tell their own story. At the summit of the rocky Monte Caplone, we do not find a summit cross, but an iron surveying triangle. The view is magnificent; it extends over the entire southwestern Garda Mountains to the southern Lake Garda and to the long ridge of Monte Baldo. We vary the descent by hiking across the "Sentiero Antonioli" to Cima Tombea, which forms a wide alpine landscape up to the pathless summit.
From the parking lot at Rifugio Cima Rest, go left a short distance back on the road towards Magasa, then right through the meadows on a wide, paved forest road towards a few houses heading to Monte Caplone. Pass the numerous huts of Malga Alvezza and Malga Casina, going up and down until just before the tree line (45 min.) with a viewpoint and information board. Slightly above, at a fork, turn left off the road onto the red-white marked trail (Mark. No. 66), which first winds through somewhat overgrown alpine meadows and then through forest towards Malga Tombea. Finally, serpentine paths through rugged terrain lead up to the alpine meadows above. After passing a cattle trough, we meet a wide alpine road, which we follow northeast for 15 minutes. Then right onto the old military path (marked; "Sentiero Antonioli") and slightly descending around the cliffs now towering before us, through a rock tunnel and upwards to Bocca di Campei, 1822 m, on the west side of Caplone.
