This camera looks out over the Mattmark Dam, a concrete barrier holding back a high alpine reservoir in the Valais Alps at about 2,200 metres. It is useful if you want to see current conditions in the Saas Valley before planning a walk or drive up the mountain road.
About the place
Saas-Almagell sits at the head of the Saas Valley in the canton of Valais, a side valley of the Mattertal that is ringed by glaciers and high summits. The Mattmark reservoir lies above the village and was built to supply hydroelectric power. The surroundings are bare rock, scree, meadows and small lakes, with a stark, open character that changes quickly with the weather and the season.
What to watch and when
Because the view is dominated by water, rock and sky, the scene shifts most with the light and cloud. Morning often brings clear views of the surrounding peaks before afternoon clouds build over the ridges. In summer you may see the reservoir at its fullest, while late autumn and winter show snow on the slopes. Check the live image to judge visibility before you go.
Practical notes
Summers are short and cool at this altitude, and snow can fall in any month, so pack warm layers even on bright days. The region is well served by road from Saas-Fee and the valley villages. Nearby cameras include Saas-Fee Mittelallalin, Saas-Almagell Heidbodme and Saas-Fee Längfluh Berg, which give different angles on the same mountains.
