From the west one climbs the D70 from Camp de Milo (503m) via La Bollène-Vésubie to the pass. From the southeast you climb from Sospel (363m) the D2566 to the pass. From the south you climb D21 from Lucéram (650m) via Pas de l’Escous (1008m) and Baisse de la Cabanette (1371m) to the pass or via D2566 and Col St. Roch (991m); Baisse de la Cabanette (1371m) to the pass. One would then likely have started further down at L’Escarène (360m).

You could also start the southern climb in Contes (192m) and climb the D15 to Col de Savel (972m); Col St. Roch and take the D2566 to Baisse de la Cabanette and continue to the pass. This last variant involves two more significant drops of up to 88m. If you continue on the D68 from Col de Turini, you will soon come to Baisse de Camp d’Argent (1737m) (1.9 km) and to Baisse de Tueis (1888m) (another 1.9 km), which is located at the start of the 9 km circle road at L’Authion (1779m to 2024m).
