The Mattervispa is a river in the Mattertal in the canton of Valais . At Stalden it unites with the Saaservispa to form Vispa .

geography

The river is created by the confluence of the Zmuttbach and Gornera south of Zermatt . From there it flows through the village towards Täsch . Here the Täschbach flows into the Mattervispa. The water continues to Randa and St. Niklaus , at the last-mentioned place the Jungbach is added. At Stalden, the Mattervispa merges with the Saaservispa and forms the Vispa.

Below Randa, the river was buried in 1991 by the Randa landslide . Since then, the river has been flowing around the scree cone, which is still clearly visible today.
