Beautiful viewpoint. Located on the Mattmark - Britanniahütte hiking trail.

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

To the south of the Saas Valley is the largest earth dam in Europe, the Mattmark Dam. The reservoir, which is used to generate electricity, is a real place of power and is fascinating not only for its technical details, but also for its wild, romantic location.

A great place of power with such different impressions in every season.

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.
