Tête d'Auferrand, Mountain summit in Bornes massif, France
The Tête d'Auferrand rises to an elevation of 1981 meters between Col de la Colombière and Col des Annes, featuring a narrow ridge geological formation.
The geological structure of Tête d'Auferrand emerged during the Jurassic period, forming successive layers of clay and limestone that constitute its current composition.
Local shepherds maintain the traditional practice of using Tête d'Auferrand slopes as summer grazing grounds for their livestock during the warmer months.
Two hiking trails lead to the summit from Col de la Colombière, with one route passing through Pointe de la Botte and another through Combe des Fours.
The geological makeup of Tête d'Auferrand displays an unusual layering of Upper Jurassic flysch over autochthonous Cretaceous terrain formations.
