The Lebendun Nappe is a tectonic unit of the Western Lepontic (Toce Culmination) situated between the Antigorio Nappe and the Pizzo del Vallone (in the west), the Sambuco Nappe (in the northeast) or the Bombogno Zone (in the east). In the north, it is bordered by the calcschists of the Sion-Courmayeur Nappe. The Lebendun Nappe is constituted by foliated metasediments (shales and conglomerates) and is surrounded by calcschists and marbles. Pebbles of dolomites in the conglomerates suggest a post-Triassic deposition age for all these rocks.
