The Plammis Nappe is a Lower Helvetic tectonic nappe of the Western Swiss Alps, constituted by a Jurassic sedimentary series interpreted as the detached part of the autochthonous cover of the Internal Aar Massif (Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif). On the slopes between Sierre and Gampel, the Plammis Nappe overlies the autochthonous cover of the External Aar Massif and the Doldenhorn Nappe. It is itself overlain by the Jägerchrüz Nappe.
