The Saaservispa is a 29 km long tributary of the Vispa , the main river of the Visp district in the canton of Valais in Switzerland .

geography

The river has its source at around 2,650 meters above sea level on the Tälliboden glacier . It flows down into the valley and fills the Mattmark reservoir . As the main river of the Saas Valley, the Saaservispa flows through the Valais communities Saas-Almagell , Saas-Grund and Saas-Balen in a very calm course. From Saas-Balen the course of the river gets wilder and wilder, with the Saaservispa eating its way deep into the valley and leaving an almost gorge-like valley at Eisten .

In Stalden , the Saaservispa connects with the Matter Vispa . Together they flow through the rest of the Vispertal as Vispa and flow into the Rotten or the Rhone at Visp .
