Pointe des Auges, Mountain summit in Faverges-Seythenex, France.
Pointe des Auges is a limestone summit in the Bauges Mountains that stands at 1814 meters high. From the top, you can see across multiple Alpine mountain ranges, and the slopes around it are covered with green meadows and natural limestone features.
During the 19th century, French geographers conducted surveys of the Bauges Mountains and used this summit as a reference point in their mapping work. These surveys helped establish an accurate understanding of the mountain range and its place in the Alpine region.
Shepherds use the slopes to graze livestock, which keeps the landscape open and green across the mountainside. This farming practice has shaped how the area looks and functions in the life of local communities.
The hike begins from the Plateau des Glières on a marked trail and takes about three hours to reach the summit. Bring proper hiking boots and appropriate clothing, as weather at altitude can change quickly.
The mountain contains several natural caves created by water erosion that serve as habitats for local wildlife today. These hidden cave systems are part of the karst landscape that shapes the region beneath the surface.
