Mettenberg, Mountain summit in Bern, Switzerland
Located in the Bernese Alps, Mettenberg rises to 3,104 meters, positioned between the Wetterhorn and Eiger peaks, with steep rock walls defining its southern edge.
The initial recorded climb of Mettenberg's north ridge occurred on August 19, 1912, when mountaineers discovered a trigonometrical signal at the peak.
The mountain forms an integral part of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the natural heritage of Switzerland.
Visitors reach the mountain via cable car from Grindelwald to Pfingstegg at 1,387 meters, where numerous hiking trails begin their ascent.
A limestone cave called Milchbach, discovered in 1994 within the mountain's lower section, features substantial water flows through its natural chambers.
