    Hiking

    South of the Saas Valley lies Europe's largest earth dam, the Mattmark Dam. Used to generate electricity, this reservoir is a true powerhouse, fascinating not only for its technical details but also for its wildly romantic setting.

    Beautiful view of the Saaser Vispa River from the village of Saas-Almagell.
    The village also has a lovely little lake with a playground next door.

    Hiking

    The view up there and the journey along the small road, some of which has switchbacks, is a real highlight. Whether you're traveling by bus, car, or bike. The condition of the road, which was repaired very quickly after the natural disaster in 2024, is also absolutely fantastic.
