From Viozene, follow the path to the Bocchin d'Aseo; before the last step below Pian dell'Olio, climb to the left (W) up the steep little gully, also called Canalino Barattolo, as far as the clearly visible ledges of Jurassic limestone. From here, moving to the left after about fifty metres, the entrance of M-1 opens.
