The summit can be reached through hiking paths starting from Quindicina and Capo Foppa, hamlets of Taleggio, as well as from the Piani di Artavaggio, a grassy plateau and former ski resort overlooking the town of Moggio in the province of Lecco.[4][5]

It lies entirely within the Bergamasque Alps Regional Park.
