    Hiking

    The Mattmark Stausee is a beautiful lake with turquoise waters that you encounter during the Monte Rosa Tour. It is also the perfect destination for those who want to relax on the shores of an alpine lake in the company of marmots and ibex.

    Hiking

    A beautiful vantage point of the Mattmark Reservoir. This reservoir is located at the southern end of the Saas Valley at an altitude of 2,197 meters, nestled in the impressive mountains near Saas-Almagell. With a length of approximately three kilometers and a maximum width of 800 meters, it is one of the larger reservoirs in the region. It is fed by various mountain streams, such as the Saaser Vispa, the Schwarzbergbach, and the Ofentalbach. Behind the imposing 120-meter-high earthfill dam, the Vispa continues downstream toward the Rhone Valley.
