St. Barbara Church, Saas-Almagell

Highlight • Religious Site

The groundbreaking ceremony for the parish church of St. Barbara took place on July 1, 1938. A church dating back to 1692 had to be demolished. The first chapel in Saas-Almagell dates back to 1494. In 1893, Saas-Almagell separated from the mother church in Saas-Grund and became its own parish.

A large rest area with plenty of seating, several grill stations, ponds and bridges.
Particularly recommended in summer because of the shade.
This idyllic place can be found behind the exit from Saas Almagell.

Mattmark Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

South of the Saas Valley lies Europe's largest earth dam, the Mattmark Dam. Used to generate electricity, this reservoir is a true powerhouse, fascinating not only for its technical details but also for its wildly romantic setting.

This beautiful and well-kept duck and fish pond and this very nice playground are located near the center of the village. Families with children will certainly not get bored here!
