Tête de l'Autaret, Alpine summit on France-Italy border, Cottian Alps.

Rising to 3,015 meters, Tête de l'Autaret features three symmetrical ridges and consists of greenschist rocks belonging to the ophiolitic complex.

The mountain name 'Autaret' derives from ancient locations where pre-Christian populations established their ritual spaces across western Alpine regions.

The mountain territory spans between French municipality of Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye and Italian municipality of Bellino, reflecting dual administrative management.

The main climbing route starts from Sant'Anna di Bellino, following a path through Gole delle Barricate with an abandoned military shelter along the way.

The eastern slope facing Bellino Valley presents steep rock formations, while other mountain sides display gentler inclines covered with grass.
