The proposed itinerary, even if more demanding and tiring than the normal route of access to the summit (and here used for the descent), is more rewarding both from the views and for the scarce attendance that favors encounters with wildlife.
Leave the car park at the Cargador, at the end of the paved road, and continue along the cart track to a clearing where you take an obvious path to the left. After a long traverse to the left and some narrow bends you arrive in a less steep stretch and with a long traverse uphill to the right you reach the long and evident ridge that will follow up to the top in a north direction.
After a first wide and not very steep stretch with various tracks, the path becomes steep and evident until it is flat. Cross to the right near a fenced pool and slightly uphill you reach the normal path that you follow for a hundred meters until you turn definitely left (altitude 1620). Here you leave it, continuing through the meadows always slightly uphill to the right in the direction of the obvious ridge that is reached along the last meters of the old path that descends from the casera Pian dei Fioc towards Anties (Bridge in the Alps).
Climb up the ridge with a splendid view of the Alpago, overcoming at first some steep and narrow sections and then for a freer path. At its end you cross for obvious tracks to the left and with some curves you reach the top of the Tre Mas-ci with beautiful 360 degree views. You can easily cross the ridge, first downhill then uphill reaching the cross of the top of Mount Serva.
For the return you follow the normal path with the only variant of the "panoramic path" because less monotonous than the classic one.
Tip of the author: the climb takes place largely on a path not frequented although with traces of passage for which it is appropriate to check the accuracy with a certain frequency on the gps.
