The Monte Rosa Nappe is a Middle Penninic tectonic unit of the Western Alps mainly comprising a polycyclic crystalline basement (paragneisses and orthogneisses of Carboniferous and Permian intrusion age). This basement is subdivided in two parts by the thick Stellihorn Shear Zone. A sedimentary series, known as the “Furgg Zone” (Permian to Jurassic metasediments, crosscut by mafic sills and dykes), surrounds the crystalline basement in a discontinuous manner, and separates in particular the Monte Rosa gneisses from those of the Portjengrat Nappe. All the rocks of the Monte Rosa Nappe have undergone a high pressure metamorphism (eclogite facies).
