Deutsch: Schiahorn-Decke Français: Nappe du Schiahorn Italiano: Falda dello Schiahorn English: Schiahorn Nappe
The Schiahorn Nappe (formerly “Arosa Dolomites”) is a small unit underlying the Silvretta Nappe between Tiefencastel and Davos. It consists of Triassic to Early Jurassic sediments with lithofacies similar to that of the Upper Austroalpine Ortler Nappe.
Deutsch: Roccabella-Schuppe Français: Écaille de la Roccabella Italiano: Scaglia della Roccabella English: Roccabella Slice
The Roccabella Slice, located northwest of the Engadine Fault, is found in the immediate footwall of a klippe of the Err Nappe and is in direct contact with the Platta Nappe in the area east of Septimerpass.
The Aar Massif is a Lower Helvetic External Massif of the central part of the Swiss Alps. It is constituted of a pre-Variscan to Variscan polycyclic metamorphic basement with Variscan intrusions, of Permo-Carboniferous grabens filled with volcano-sedimentary rocks and of an autochthonous to parautochthonous Mesozoic–Cenozoic sedimentary cover. It is subdivided by several faults into a large External Aar Massif and a thinner Internal Aar Massif to the south-east.

Deutsch: Saane-Decke Français: Nappe de la Sarine Italiano: Falda della Sarine English: Sarine Nappe
The Sarine Nappe is an Upper Penninic tectonic unit of the Prealps. Although strongly resembling the Dranses Nappe lithologically, it is characterized by the presence of very fine-grained, lightcolored limestones with trace fossils (Chondrites isp.) and polymict micaceous conglomerates, often containing various crystalline rocks. The age of these rocks is latest Cretaceous to earliest Paleocene.

Deutsch: Obere Stalden-Decke Français: Nappe de Stalden supérieure Italiano: Falda di Stalden superiore English: Upper Stalden Nappe
The Upper Stalden Nappe is a Middle Penninic tectonic unit of the upper Valais region, between Visp and the Simplonpass, with a similar in structural position as that of the Ruitor Nappe (between the Zone Houillère and the Siviez-Mischabel Nappe). It is composed of a polycyclic basement with numerous pre-Alpine relics, seemingly lacking a sedimentary cover.
The Baltschieder-Gletsch Submassif represents the Internal Aar Massif in Valais. It crops out in upper Valais region, south of the Rote Kuh-Gampel Shear Zone – a reactivated paleofault – and its possible continuation between Aletsch and Rhône glaciers. The autochthonous cover of the Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif is present at its southwestern end the near Raron.
Deutsch: Subvulkanischer Körper von Gandino Français: Corps subvolcanique de Gandino Italiano: Corpo subvulcanico di Gandino English: Gandino Subvolcanic Body
The Gandino Subvolcanic Body, situated northeast of Bergamo, encompasses many sills and small magma bodies of andesitic composition intruded the Lower Orobic Imbricates and the Upper Orobic Nappe. The unit is associated with normal faults and cut earlier thrusts. Intrusion ages around 40 Ma and geochemical analyses suggest a close relationship with the earliest Adamello intrusion stages.
