From Arnoga follow the carriage road that halfway up the Viola valley and past the detours to Sattarona, Val Verva, and Stagimel, you arrive after about 50 minutes at a detour. Leaving the road that climbs toward Altumeira, you descend again on a snow-covered road to the Caricc locality where just before, or shortly after, the Agroturismo Baita Caricc (1990 m), you cross the bridge over the Viola stream and climb to the right following the mule track that leads to the magnificent Dosde' plain. Then you bring yourself near the Federico refuge of CAI Bormio (2133 m) and descend to the bridge on the right to cross the Viola stream and continue along the valley floor until you enter the valley of Canton Dosde' . When you reach a bridge, do not cross it but continue to the right, thus entering the Canton Dosde' valley; you lap the stream while staying on the valley floor and continue even when the valley becomes flat. From here you can already clearly see the itinerary that you are going to climb, taking as a reference the large valley on the left that you are going to climb first bending to the left to return to its base to the right. Having climbed the gully and arrived on the ridge, you will take the other side and halfway up to the west on moderate slopes to reach the summit.
