Starting from Colle Bettaforca at 2727 meters, reachable on foot from the dirt road from Staffal or comfortably with the Monterosa Ski lifts.
From the arrival of the chairlift, follow the dirt road to the right, continuing to the left you reach the two passes of the lower and upper Bettolina; beyond the Bettolina you cross a plateau rich in water pools and snowfields, after a steep path you arrive on a particularly airy and panoramic ridge that acts as a watershed between the Gressoney Valley and the Ayas Valley. Following the ridge equipped with fixed ropes, chains, and a small wooden bridge you arrive at a rocky plateau where the Quintino Sella hut is located, an excellent starting point for the ascent of some Monte Rosa 4000-meter peaks such as Castor and the two Lyskamm.
From Colle Bettaforca take path number 9 to the right and continue on the unmarked EEA section to the equipped ridge that leads to the hut.
