Simplified tectonic map of eastern Switzerland, Liechtenstein, western Austria, and southwestern Germany based on Scholz and Zacher (1983) and Pfiffner (2010a). Inset Digital elevation model of the Alps showing the outcrop pattern of the (Ultra)Helvetic nappe system including the External Massifs in the Alps. Note the substantial decrease in width from west to east. Outlines are redrawn from Egger et al. (1999a, b) and Pfiffner (2010a). Red rectangle in the inset map indicates the study area proper.
