Mattenbach Falls, Vertical waterfall in Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland

Mattenbach Falls is a cascade of several waterfalls with a total height of 840 metres, dropping from the western flanks of the Jungfrau (4,158 m) near the hamlet of Matte above Stechelberg. The Mattenbach stream, only about 2,700 metres long, falls roughly 2,450 metres into the Weisse Lütschine. Climbers counted four large and several small steps.

The Mattenbach is a short stream, about 2,700 metres long, that drops roughly 2,450 metres before joining the Weisse Lütschine near Stechelberg at about 885 metres. Its water comes mainly from the Silberhorn Glacier, whose lower ice field ends at around 2,900 metres below the Silberhorn, Goldenhorn and the Jungfrau's western flanks. In summer 2020 Italian canyoning climbers measured the cascade at 930 metres, against the 840 metres previously recorded.

The stream feeding the falls is called Mattenbach, and the hamlet at its foot is Matte, part of Stechelberg. The falls are counted among the highest cascades in Switzerland, and the Trümmelbach Falls lie about three kilometres north on the north side of the Schwarzmönch.

The waterfall flows most powerfully during spring and early summer when snowmelt swells the water volume to its peak. Multiple viewpoints around the valley allow you to see the falls from different angles without difficult hiking.

The stream feeding the falls is only about 2,700 metres long but drops roughly 2,450 metres, and its catchment of 1.49 square kilometres is fed mainly by the Silberhorn Glacier. In dry late summers the Mattenbach can run dry, so the cascade may show little water.
