In good weather Pizzo Carbonara is readily climbed from the Piano Battaglia (1605m), which can be reached by road, the round trip taking about 2 hrs 30 minutes for an averagely fit person. It does not involve any rock-climbing or scrambling. However, as of 2006 there is no clearly waymarked path up the mountain, accurate maps are not readily available, and the plateau is prone to mist. Accordingly, it is advisable to carry a compass or GPS when climbing the mountain. Guidebooks do not recommend climbing it in winter.
