Nice to know: The Mattmark Hotel and the Distelalp were also found on the plain at that time, swallowed up by the masses of water. The Hotel Mattmark was built and run by the priest Johann Josef Imseng, who was the pioneer in tourism in the Saas Valley and was also known as mountain guide and Switzerland's first skier. One day he was inexplicably found dead in the natural Mattmark lake and since then he has been celebrated as the father of tourism in the Saas Valley.
