Mettenberg, Mountain summit in Bern, Switzerland

Mettenberg is a summit in the Bernese Alps that rises to 3,104 meters between the Wetterhorn and Eiger. The mountain's southern side features steep rock walls that dominate the landscape.

The date of the first ascent is not recorded. Rudolf Beck reports that the north ridge was first climbed on 19 August 1912 by a party of four that included the guide Emil Steuri; a trigonometric signal already stood at the summit. The rock tower at the end of the north ridge is called Steurihorn after Steuri.

The rock tower at the end of the north ridge above the Oberer Grindelwaldgletscher is called Steurihorn after the mountain guide Emil Steuri. The Mättenberg and the two Grindelwald glaciers below it belong to the UNESCO Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage site. The mountain appears at the start of the station idents of the Swiss television channel SF 1.

The area is best reached from Grindelwald, where a cable car climbs to Pfingstegg at 1,387 meters. From there, several hiking trails lead upward, and choosing one depends on your experience and fitness level.
