Intro
사스 계곡 남쪽에는 유럽 최대의 흙댐이 있다. 바로, 마트마크(Mattmark) 댐이다. 이 저수지는 전력 발전을 위해 사용되는데, 진정한 파워 스팟으로 꼽힌다. 기술적인 디테일도 놀랍지만, 와일드하면서도 낭만적인 풍경으로 스위스 사람들이 즐겨 찾는 명소다.
In 1958, the construction of Kraftwerke Mattmark AG began and ended in 1987 with the construction of the pumping station in Zermeiggern. On August 30, 1965, two million cubic meters of ice and debris buried 93 workers here – 88 of whom died. It was one of the biggest disasters in Swiss architectural history. At the same time, this tragedy is a symbol of the dark side of Italian emigration to Switzerland. In 2001, the Mattmark dam was rebuilt to protect the underlying Saas Valley and the Rhone Valley.
The region around Lake Mattmark offers many opportunities for hiking. Whether a short walk around the reservoir or a high alpine hike, which starts at the Felskinn mountain station in Saas-Fee and leads over glaciers down to the Mattmark, there is something for everyone. From here, you can even reach the Italian border via the Monte Moro Pass. The region can also be explored by mountain bike. On the terrace of the Mattmark restaurant, you can enjoy the view of the reservoir and the Monte Moro Pass.
A car park is available for visitors at the dam crest, but it is also possible to arrive by public transport. The dam can be easily reached by PostBus from Saas-Almagell to the Mattmark reservoir.
Why a place of power?
The Mattmark dam is at what feels like the end of the world and impresses with its wild nature and view of mighty glaciers. A beautiful and historic place to take a deep breath, feel a little closer to nature and recharge your batteries.
