Information:

How to get there:
From Bergamo, drive via the town Albino to Gandino. From here, a narrow, but paved road clibs to location N45.83368, E9.90114, elevation near 1235m. There is parking here for more than 100 cars. The road continues, but signs inform that this is not public, only for access to private properties.
Route::
Follow the road (there is a short trail connecting in one location), until it becomes horizontal. You will now see the summit with a large cross ahead. An obvious trail forks left. Follow this trail to the summit.

A track is posted on Peakbagger.

Comments:
Previous trip reports on Peakbagger started elsewhere, but this road seemed to serve a good trailhead. Indeed, the parking (100+ cars) was almost full on this Sunday. I walked leisurely to the summit in 45 minutes. The return in 30 minutes. The vertical gain is about 400 meter.
