From the parking area on the right, just past the two tunnels, on the Foscagno road, cross the road and start climbing parallel to the state road but passing close to the existing valley. You can also start a section further on near the semi-curve of the road to the right. Continue in a southwesterly direction thus entering Vallaccia Corta. After passing a short steep section you come to a wide plateau to the left of the stream. Past the flat section you go to the right of the stream and following a steep little valley westward you reach a wide false plain in the center of the valley. Bend slightly to the left taking you to the base of a steep slope and continue to the right to the base of the ridge before the evident gully; ascend it on the right side and at the end continue on the left edge of the gully going up another slope always on the edge of it arriving at the last part of the climb that takes place more or less centrally in the small summit amphitheater. When you reach the wide ridge you continue on level ground and continuing westward and climbing a short steeper section you reach the end of the climb.
