My comments will be the same as for the other side. This side is shorter and steeper, but this pass is still no hidden gem...
The main D4085 runs through the forest of the Gorges du Verdon. While these gorges are superb, the forest of the same name is rather ordinary. At least from this busy main road.
The route is good, but this climb is more of a transitional stage to be added to a more ambitious route. There are so many more exciting climbs around the Verdon!

Mon commentaire sera le même que pour l’autre versant. Ce côté est plus court et plus pentu mais ce col n’est toujours pas un joyau caché…
La grande D4085 traverse la forêt des Gorges du Verdon. Autant ces gorges sont superbes, autant la forêt éponyme est plutôt ordinaire. En tout cas, c’est le sentiment qu’elle donne depuis cette grande route trop fréquentée.
La route est bonne mais cette montée est davantage une étape de transition à ajouter au sein d’un parcours plus ambitieux. Tant de belles ascensions plus excitantes autour du Verdon !

After 100 km in scorching Provençal heat after Valferrière, we started the last climb of the day in La Bâtie on the way back via the route Napoléon to Castellane. Actually not a good idea because, lots of traffic during the summer months. Fortunately, the track is wide enough but there are no ways out. So a good rear light type Bontrager Flare R or Lezyne strip alert drive is more than welcome to alert following traffic of your presence. Reached the top fairly empty, but still rode a PR.

Na 100 km in een verzengende Provençaalse hitte na de Valferrière, in La Bâtie op terugweg via de route Napoléon naar Castellane aan het laatste klimmetje van de dag begonnen. Eigenlijk geen goed idee want, veel verkeer tijdens de zomermaanden. Gelukkig is de baan breed genoeg maar er zijn geen uitwijkmogelijkheden. Een goed achterlicht type Bontrager Flare R of Lezyne strip alert drive is dus meer dan welkom om het achteropkomend verkeer van jouw aanwezigheid te verwittigen. Redelijk leeg boven gekomen, maar toch nog een PR gereden.

Climbed on 2 April 2021 on the south side; from the Alpes des Hautes Provence / Var border (D4085 -D52A). Steady ascent. Good road surface. Little traffic in spring and autumn.
