From Ristoro Solena located near the little church of Cancano, follow the small road to the left that skirts the Cancano reservoir for about a kilometer, until you reach where an obvious little valley rises on the right, which is very incised and steep. Here, depending on snow conditions, climb either up the right bank or on foot along the bottom. When the terrain softens continue another hundred meters or so and begin to climb up the slope to the right and gradually to the left taking in the plateaus above always continuing north. When you come to a basin, continue along the slope to the left and then north again for about 200 meters, then climb the steep wide gully that leads onto a ridge pass. From here to the left following the northeast ridge, you easily reach the anticima and descend westward for a few dozen meters to reach the base of the final section of the climb. Follow the ridge and then left over steep, exposed terrain to reach the summit.
