Good photo / info about routes on Monticelli:

Getting There

From Passo Tonale, take the cable car (Galleria Paradiso) to the top. Monticello is visible on the climber's left side as you ascend. From the cable car, walk down along the ski slope, and cross onto the apron and walk until the start point of your chosen climb. You can either maintain elevation and traverse skier's right once you exit the ski slope, below the wall, or loose elevation along the ski slope, then go directly up vertical beneath the route you want to climb.

Mafia Bianca is the most popular, 20-40 minutes walking (depending on snow conditions) from the top of the cable car. Tickets are usually about 20-30 euros round trip.

Alternatively, if you're a try-hard, you can skin up from the parking lot. IIRC, uphill passes are not needed.
