Deutsch: Mouthe-Störung Français: Accident tectonique de Mouthe English: Mouthe Fault
The Mouthe Fault Zone is a major sinistral strike-slip fault zone that shifts the Main Jura Thrust front to the south, similar to the Pontarlier-Aubonne Fault Zone further east.
Deutsch: Judikarien-Zone Français: Zone des Giudicarie Italiano: Zona delle Giudicarie English: Giudicarie Zone
The Giudicarie Zone is a NNE–SSW trending Cenozoic sinistral transfer zone displacing the Tonale Fault to the north (Pustertal Line), kinematically linked with the post-nappe folding of the Tauern Window and the eastward lateral escape of the Eastern Alps. This zone is structurally divided into an internal part, kinematically linked to the Lower Orobic Imbricates, and an external part, linked to the Milan Belt.
Deutsch: Ballino-Störung Français: Faille de Ballino Italiano: Faglia di Ballino English: Ballino Fault
The Ballino Fault is an important N–S trending transfer fault north of Lago di Garda. It is a reactivated and inverted Mesozoic extensional fault which coincides with the facies change between the Mesozoic Lombardian Basin and the Trento Plateau.
Deutsch: Varesotto-Schuppen Français: Écailles du Varesotto Italiano: Scaglie del Varesotto English: Varesotto Imbricates
The Varesotto Imbricates encompass the tectonic units situated below and in front of the Upper Orobic Nappe, in analogy to the Lower Orobic Imbricates. Between the Lago Maggiore and the Lugano Fault, the Variscan basement of the Varesotto Imbricates is unconformably overlain by Permian volcanics and Mesozoic sediments with rapid lateral changes in thickness and facies.

Deutsch: Marzio-Störung Français: Faille de Marzio Italiano: Faglia di Marzio English: Marzio Fault
The Marzio Fault separates the WSW–ENE trending Arbostora Anticline (southern part of the Varesotto Imbricates) from a complex syncline of imbricated Mesozoic sediments.
