p.33: The Aar Massif and its autochthonous-parautochthonous sedimentary cover occupies a belt about 20 km wide and 160 km long in the central part of the Alps, between Sierre in Valais and Landquart in Graubünden. It is subdivided by several faults into a large External Aar Massif, making up almost the entire width of the Aar Massif in its central part, and a thinner Internal Aar Massif, which is subdivied into two submassifs: the Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif, which 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, and the Trun-Punteglias Submassif in the Surselva (Graubünden). North of the Lötschental, the External Aar Massif overthrusts the Gastern Submassif. The contact is marked by a thin band of Triassic and Jurassic sediments (the “Jungfrau Wedge”), which includes overturned sediments of the External Aar Massif. The entire Aar Massif is made up of a pre-Variscan to Variscan polycyclic metamorphic basement with Variscan intrusions. Several large-scale structures follow the general strike of the External Aar Massif. They include longitudinal faults and very tight synclines exposing Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic sediments.
The autochthonous cover of the Internal Aar Massif is present at its southwestern end near Raron (Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif) while in the Trun-Punteglias Submassif only Triassic sediments remained attached to the crystalline basement.

    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.
