Bauges Mountains

The Bauges Mountains (French: Massif des Bauges, pronounced [masif de boʒ]; Italian: Prealpi dei Bovili) are a mountain range in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Eastern France, stretching from the city of Annecy, Haute-Savoie to the city of Chambéry, Savoie, which is part of the French Prealps.

The Bauges have fourteen summits above 2,000 metres (6,562 ft):

Other noteworthy summits include:

The Bauges massif contains many underground cavities. There are three main sectors: the Margériaz, the Revard sector and the mountain of Bange-Prépoulain. Under these karsts large underground networks develop in particular the Creux de la Benoite-Litorne-Grotte de Prérouge with a depth of 860 meters for 54 kilometers of development. The Margériaz sector is renowned for the length and difficulty of its meanders, which are particularly difficult to explore.
