Saas-Almagell

Saas-Almagell combines the close-knit character of a Valais mountain community with the vast scale of the Pennine Alps, reflecting its position high in the Saas Valley. At 1,672 metres, it stands beside the Saaser Vispa and is the southernmost of the valley’s four municipalities. Traditional timber-and-stone buildings and steep pastures keep its agricultural Alpine roots visible. Within the municipality, the Mattmark reservoir is a significant modern landmark; during construction of its dam in 1965, a collapse of the Allalin Glacier killed 88 workers.
