Description :
This paper analyses the sackung features found in 2 neighbouring glacial valleys of the central Spanish Pyrenees. The main aspects addressed in this work are : the geomorphology of the sackung-type features; the chronology of the uphill-facing scarps and their kinematics by means of the study of trough fills exposed in artificial trenches; and the temporal and causal relationships between the deglaciation of the valleys and the gravitational spreading phenomena.
