English: Campo Nappe
The Campo Nappe is the largest unit of the Upper Austroalpine Campo Nappe Complex and predominantly consists of Variscan basement, locally intruded by Permian magmatites (e.g., Sondalo Gabbro, Martell Granite). This nappe tectonically overlies the Masuccio Nappe in the southwest and the Languard Nappe in the northeast and extends all along the base of the tectonically higher Ortler Nappe. Its former Permian–Mesozoic cover has been almost completely detached very early during WNW-directed Late Cretaceous thrusting and is not present nowadays due to erosion, except as small occurrences more or less attached to the basement of the Campo Nappe.
