The Tavetsch Nappe is an Upper Helvetic tectonic unit cropping out in a large part of the upper Surselva (Vorderrhein Valley). It shows two contrasting parts: In the west, a narrow crystalline “massif” (formerly “Tavetsch -Zwischenmassiv”), consisting mainly of paragneisses, lies between the Aar Massif in the north and the Gotthard Nappe in the south. In the east, this crystalline basement thins and terminates towards the east in the core of an anticline, surrounded by Permian Verrucano sediments. The continuation of these sediments is found in the Glarus Nappe Complex.
