The Mettenberg (also spelled Mättenberg) is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, overlooking Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland. It lies north of the Schreckhorn and forms a huge buttress of the Schreckhorn range.

From Grindelwald, an aerial tramway goes as high as Pfingstegg (1,387 m), which is situated below the first cliffs of the mountain.[2]
