Deutsch: Mättental-Melange Français: Mélange du Mättental Italiano: Mélange del Mättental English: Mättental Mélange
Intrahelvetisches Melange, das zwischen Nordhelvetischer Flysch (unten) und Axen-Decke bzw. Griesstock-Decke oder Clariden-Schuppenkomplex (oben) liegt. Enthält exotischen (Mega)Blöcken süd- und nordhelvetischer Herkunft.
Deutsch: Bad-Ragaz-Decke Français: Nappe de Bad Ragaz Italiano: Falda di Bad Ragaz English: Bad Ragaz Nappe
The Bad Ragaz Nappe is a Lower Helvetic tectonic nappe emplaced in an early phase onto the future Helvetic domain, subsequently truncated by the Glarus Thrust and simultaneously cut by out-of-sequence thrusts. It is composed mainly of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene sediments of South Helvetic affinity, cropping out in the area between Linthal and Sargans.
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.
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.

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: 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.
The Fiseten-Orthalden Slices are small Lower Helvetic tectonic units of the Klausenpass region, wedged between the sedimentary series of the Aar massif and the Axen Thrust. They are constituted by Late Jurassic to Paleogene sediments that were deposited further south than the autochthonous-parautochthonous sediments of the Aar Massif, but still in the North Helvetic realm.

The Ilanz Nappe is an Upper Helvetic tectonic nappe. It extends south of the eastern part of the Tavetsch Nappe and consists of Permian Verrucano sediments locally capped by Triassic sediments.
The Internal Aar Massif is restricted to a thin band situated south of the Rote Kuh-Gampel Shear Zone and its possible continuation between Aletsch and Rhône glaciers. It is subdivied into two submassifs: the Baldschieder-Gletsch Submassif in upper Valais region, and the Trun-Punteglias Submassif in the Surselva (Graubünden), with an autochthonous sedimentary cover preserved in part locally.
