シュタウゼーマットマークのおすすめMTBライド

The Zermeiggern Chapel also serves as a memorial site where those who died in the Mattmark disaster are commemorated.

From here you have a great view towards Mattmark and there is a very nice playground.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The path winds its way directly along the shore of the Mattmark reservoir and offers stunning views of the turquoise water and the surrounding mountains – perfect for enjoying and taking a deep breath.
