The road winds its way uphill from Agarone to the hamlet of Ditto (a.k.a. Monti di Ditto), less than 5 km to the top. Just below Monti di Motti, on the left, is a bench offering a wonderful view of Lake Maggiore. Worth visiting in Monti di Motti are the Osteria Grotto Monti Motti restaurant, the small lake overlooking the Valle Verzasca and a church. A hiking trail to Monte Sassariente starts from here, too. Head back to Gerra Piano following the same route.
