Very impressive! A waterfall over pin-shaped boulders, which essentially form a "highway", ends directly in the lake.

Icicle Tunnel at the Mattmark Reservoir

Highlight • Cave

When you arrive at the reservoir on the side of the Mattmark restaurant, you should definitely walk a short distance along the east side to the tunnel and cross it. In winter, a beautiful waterfall forms at the entrance and icicles hang from the ceiling inside too

View of Mattmarksee

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
