p.33: [The Aar Massif] is subdivided by several faults into a large External Aar Massif, making up almost the entire width of the Aar Massif in its central part, and a thinner Internal Aar Massif, which is subdivied into two submassifs: the Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif, which crops out in upper Valais region, south of the Rote Kuh - Gampel Shear Zone – a reactivated paleofault – and its possible continuation between Aletsch and Rhône glaciers, and the Trun-Punteglias Submassif in the Surselva (Graubünden).
