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 by a logical route pass near the La Motte hut (1960 m) and then continue by a semi-flat path to Alpe Vago (1998 m). Without passing the small bridge that leads to Alpe Vago, continue along the hillside a short distance from the river until you come in front of a frozen waterfall on the opposite side of the valley. Continue on an almost level path, still on the left side of the valley arriving near a vallecola where a beautiful stone pine is positioned that also serves as a reference. From here you descend diagonally into the vallecola for about five hundred meters and continue along it for another 200 meters or so coming out into the wide amphitheater of the Nera valley. You now ascend in a southerly direction along the wide slopes keeping preferably to the right on continuous inclines arriving at a flat area. Turn left going up the final section leading to the Colle di Val Nera and pass on the opposite side, to the left, climbing the slope leading to the wide west ridge reaching the anticima (ski-mountaineering summit). It is possible to reach the summit either by following the rocky ridge or just before the col by climbing the steep slope to the left that leads into an amphitheater; from here continue on very steep terrain coming out on the ridge about fifty meters to the left of the summit, which is easily reached to the right.
