From Campacciolo in the vicinity of the Albergo Forcola follow the road to the bridge over the Spol stream, without crossing it go left along a short, slightly downhill stretch that leads to a wide plateau to the left of the stream, then with a logical path pass near the La Motte hut (1960 m) and then continue along a semi-flat path to Alpe Vago (1998 m). You pass the small bridge over the stream and enter the Vago Valley on the hydrographic left. The first section has a gradual slope, while the second is steeper and midslope and should be walked only with stable snow, thus arriving at the entrance to the Campo Valley. This section can be avoided by passing on the opposite side of the valley, that is, without crossing the small bridge leading to Alpe Vago, continue halfway up the hillside a short distance from the river until you come in front of an icy waterfall on the opposite side of the valley. You then descend diagonally to the stream and cross it, taking you to the right of the waterfall and then climb with short switchbacks and then to the left, thus entering the Campo valley. Continue along the val di Campo for about a hundred meters and at the first hinted ridge on the right climb up along it bringing you to a less steep area; from here diagonally to the right enter the amphitheater to the right of the northeastern rocky ridge. Ascend the entire small valley to a col at the base of the final ridge with northwest exposure and ascend it as far as possible on skis and continue on foot to the summit.
