Deutsch: Nantbellet-Melange Français: Mélange de Nantbellet Italiano: Mélange di Nantbellet English: Nantbellet Mélange
The Nantbellet Mélange, situated in the Sulens Klippe, east of the Lac d’Annecy, is considered to be part of the Pillon Mélange Zone. It lies above the Chaines Subalpines Nappe and below a series related to the Préalpes Médianes Nappe. Its upper part consists of “wildflysch” that contains lenses of Subbriançonnais and Ultrahelvetic origin. Its lower part consists mainly of one large Anzeinde-type sliver containing a transgressive Cenozoic flysch.

The Hohenems Nappe is an Upper Helvetic tectonic nappe that crops out solely around Hohenems, in the Rhine Valley. It dips southward below the Säntis Nappe, extending in the subsurface as far as Liechtenstein.
The Orglen Slices are post-nappe tectonic units (due to a late out-of-sequence thrusting) of the parautochthonous cover of the northeastern end of the Aar Massif.
Deutsch: Wildhaus-Melange Français: Mélange de Wildhaus Italiano: Mélange di Wildhaus English: Wildhaus Mélange
The Wildhaus Mélange overlies the Säntis Nappe in a large-scale synform north of the Walensee and consists of slices of Late Cretaceous and Paleogene strata of South Helvetic to Ultrahelvetic origin packed in a “wildflysch” matrix. Locally it is overlain by klippen of flysch of the Üntschen Nappe (Lower Penninic) or even of the Falknis Nappe (Middle Penninic).
Deutsch: Schlieren-Decke Français: Nappe des Schlieren Italiano: Falda delle Schlieren English: Schlieren Nappe
The Schlieren Nappe is a Lower Penninic tectonic unit occuring between Thunersee and Vierwaldstättersee in a large synform of the Upper Helvetic Drusberg Nappe (with intercalated Habkern Mélange Zone). This nappe only consists of Cretaceous–Paleogene flysch very similar to the Voirons and Gurnigel flysches in the Prealps and to the Wägital flysch further east.

Deutsch: Gellihorn-Decke Français: Nappe du Gellihorn Italiano: Falda del Gellihorn English: Gellihorn Nappe
The Gellihorn Nappe is a Lower Helvetic tectonic nappe of the Western Swiss Alps, constituted by a thin series of Late Jurassic to Paleogene limestones. It occupies the same structural position as the Plammis-Jägerchrüz couple, but does not show the same grade of metamorphism.
