Message from Alexandre Ferreira

A raw, glacial-fed waterfall tucked in a wild valley just above Zermatt. Arbenbach Falls isn’t on the tourist radar — but it should be. You can hike up close to feel the full force of the water, or explore around the side for wide landscape shots with dramatic textures.

💧 Tip: Best after rainfall or early summer when meltwater is strongest. Come early in the morning to get soft light hitting the cliff face.

🥾 Access: ~1 hour hike from the trail to Schönbielhütte

💪 Difficulty: Moderate

📷 Photo Tip: Try long exposures with a wide-angle lens — or shoot backlit details during golden hour.
