View from the Panoramastrasse Oberaar across the hydropower reservoir of Grimselsee with its two dams (Spitallamm Dam on the left side and Seeuferegg Dam on the right side) in NE direction to the Diechterhorn (3389 m) and the Tieralplistock (3383 m) in the left background, the Gärstenhörner (3189 m) in the centre, and the Nägelisgrätli on the right side of the picture. The Spitallamm Dam is undergoing reconstruction: a new dam is built just downstream in order to complement the existing one.
