The Bauges Mountains (French: Massif des Bauges, pronounced [masif de boʒ]) 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.
