Feevispa, Mountain brook in Saas-Fee, Switzerland
Description
Feevispa is a mountain brook that flows from the Fee Glacier down through Saas Valley, creating small waterfalls and natural pools along its rocky path. The stream cuts through the terrain and forms a visible waterway that shapes the landscape of the surrounding area.
History
The brook's course was carved over centuries by the Fee Glacier's movements, shaping the valleys and channels that exist today. Glacial activity has been the primary force in forming the geological structure visible in this area.
Culture
The brook has long played a practical role in local farming practices and continues to shape how people use the surrounding land. Water from it flows through irrigation channels that have served the valley's communities for generations.
Practical
Hiking trails run along the brook's banks with several bridges available for crossing at different points. The water level varies with seasons and weather, so conditions can change significantly depending on recent rainfall or snowmelt.
Did you know?
The water shifts in color throughout the year from milky gray to clearer blue tones, depending on how much glacial sediment flows through it. These color changes act as a visual indicator of how active the glacier remains in different seasons.
