From Arnoga follow the carriage road that halfway up the hillside runs through Val Viola and past the detours for Sattarona, Val Verva, you arrive after passing the Campo huts at the fork for Stagimel. Then climb to the right, through a beautiful forest, and shortly after a few hairpin bends to the Baite di Stagimel huts; from here in a westerly direction continue following the small road that leads into Val Minestra and when you reach the bridge cross over to the opposite side. Still in a westerly direction, you gradually lose a bit of elevation gain by taking the left side of the slope in front of you and, having climbed the steep section, you arrive on some false plateaus that lead toward Lake Forbesana. Passing it on the right, you now continue on steeper slopes that lead to the nozzle on the south ridge; following the gradually widening ridge you reach the summit.
