Deutsch: Maisander-Schuppen Français: Écailles du Maisander Italiano: Scaglie del Maisander English: Maisander Slices
The Maisander Slices are composed of Late Jurassic limestone (Quinten Formation) intercalated into the Palfris Formation of the Axen Nappe between the Engelberg Valley and the Vierwaldstättersee.
The Etirol-Levaz Slice is an Upper Penninic tectonic unit situated between the Zermatt-Saas Fee Nappe and the Tsaté Nappe. It comprises eclogitic micaschists similar to that of the structurally higher Dent Blanche and Sesia nappes. It is likely derived from extensional allochthons, formed during the Jurassic opening of the Piemonte-Liguria Ocean in a more distal position than the Cervinia Terrane from which the Salassic nappes originate.
Deutsch: Châtillon–St-Vincent-Schuppen Français: Écailles de Châtillon–St-Vincent Italiano: Scaglie di Châtillon–St-Vincent English: Châtillon–St-Vincent Slices
The Châtillon-St-Vincent Slices are Upper Penninic tectonic units situated between the Zermatt-Saas Fee Nappe and the Tsaté Nappe. They comprise eclogitic continental basement rocks similar to that of the structurally higher Dent Blanche and Sesia nappes. They are likely derived from extensional allochthons, formed during the Jurassic opening of the Piemonte-Liguria Ocean in a more distal position than the Cervinia Terrane from which the Salassic nappes originate.

Deutsch: Plammis-Decke Français: Nappe de Plammis Italiano: Falda di Plammis English: Plammis Nappe
The Plammis Nappe is a Lower Helvetic tectonic nappe of the Western Swiss Alps, constituted by a Jurassic sedimentary series interpreted as the detached part of the autochthonous cover of the Internal Aar Massif (Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif). On the slopes between Sierre and Gampel, the Plammis Nappe overlies the autochthonous cover of the External Aar Massif and the Doldenhorn Nappe. It is itself overlain by the Jägerchrüz Nappe.
