New gravity data from 500 stations and results from all previous surveys on the Western Alps are used to compile a detailed profile along the ECORS-CROP vertical seismic profile.The Bouguer anomaly consists of two approximately two-dimensional regional features, namely a wide negative anomaly occurring on the central part of the belt and the pronounced positive anomaly of the geophysical “Ivrea zone”, at the border between the Alps and the Po Plain.The results of a wide-angle seismic campaign and the preliminary line drawing from the vertical seismic have been the main constraints for the modelling of the anomaly. Two models are proposed. Their common feature is a piling up of the crust-upper mantle units in the Penninic zone of maximum crustal thickness as well as in the “Ivrea Zone”. The contribution of the Apulian lower crust to the positive anomaly is greater than formerly suggested. Several hypotheses are put forward for the zones where reasonable seismic information is available, as an illustration of the uncertainties surrounding their geological interpretation.The density models are consistent with the hypothesis of lithospheric accretionary processes for the collision between the European and Apulian plates.
