Hiking

Surrounded by high alpine tranquility and glacial peaks, the turquoise-blue Mattmarksee lies at your feet. This artificial lake is located at over 2,000 meters in the farthest reaches of the Saas Valley. It stores meltwater and supplies the region with renewable energy.

Hiking

The Mattmark Reservoir is a reservoir located in the municipality of Saas-Almagell at the southern end of the Saas Valley in the Visp district of the canton of Valais in Switzerland. The lake is used by Kraftwerke Mattmark AG to generate electricity. In 1965, a glacier collapse during construction claimed 88 lives.

Hiking

On the right side of the dam, you can continue towards the tunnel and from there you get a completely different perspective of the lake.
