Mattenbach Falls, Vertical waterfall in Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland
The Mattenbach Falls drops 840 meters from the eastern wall of Lauterbrunnen Valley, creating multiple cascades through the limestone cliffs.
The waterfall originates from glacial melt of Silberhorn and Giesen glaciers, shaping the valley's landscape throughout thousands of years of continuous flow.
Mattenbach Falls forms part of Lauterbrunnen's collection of 72 waterfalls, contributing to the natural heritage that draws visitors to this Alpine region.
Visitors can observe the waterfall during spring and early summer when snowmelt increases the water volume, making it visible from various points in the valley.
Recent measurements by the Vertical Water Canyoning Team in 2020 identified Mattenbach Falls as the highest waterfall in Eurasia at 930 meters.
