Panorama of the Cuney area (looking west). The distance from Becca Luseney to Monte Morion is about 5 km. Recognizable from bottom to top: the Lower Unit (LU) and Upper Unit (UU) of the Mont Mary nappe, the Roisan-Cignana Shear Zone (RCSZ), the Arolla Series (AS) and the Valpelline Series (VS) of the Dent Blanche nappe. The brown star marks the pre-Alpine meta-sediments (Manzotti et al. 2012). For the legend and the approximate line of panorama, see Fig. 3 (black dashed line) and 4 (white dashed line)
