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.

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.

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. Wikipedia
