Rozes is probably the most picturesque of all three peaks. From the south, it presents its nearly 900-meter-high wall. From the Falzarego Pass, a trail leads to the Castelletto tunnel, which is 800 meters long and was built during World War I by Italian soldiers as a mine tunnel, used on July 11, 1916, to blow up the adjacent rock face known as Castelletto, which housed positions of the Austro-Hungarian army. A flashlight and via ferrata gear are required to pass through this tunnel. After the tunnel, you enter the Lipela via ferrata. This is traversed using chains, steel cables, and ladders, overcoming many narrow rocky ledges in the walls that are characteristic of the Tofana group. The final section to the summit is not secured. The difficulty of the secured route is C/D. Duration: Falzarego - Castelletto - Lipella - Tofana di Rozes (4 hours) - descent via the normal route to the Rif. Giusani hut and to the Falzarego Pass (3 hours).

Chalet/accommodation: At the pass, there is the new Rifugio Guissani Hut, which I don't know the opening hours of. A bit lower is Rifugio Cantore, suitable for overnight stays (bunk beds in the attic) or shelter from the weather.
