The Moosjisee (also Mossjesee, Mosjesee, Moosjesee) is a reservoir in the Findeltal valley above Zermatt in the Swiss canton of Valais. The lake is located at an elevation of 2,139 m (7,018 ft) slightly north of the Findelbach river.
The reservoir is used for power generation and snowmaking.[1] It is fed in part by the glacial milk of the Findel Glacier and therefore gets its characteristic milky turquoise color.[1]
Access
