Customs building on the Testa Grigia in Zermatt

The Testa Grigia customs building is a mountain property on the Swiss-Italian border that was used by the customs administration. The property consists of two floors (with two mezzanine floors). It is located right next to the Testa Grigia mountain station of the Zermatt mountain railways and is very well developed (for mountain conditions).

The property impresses with its solid construction with inserted wooden structure. The hut has a basement with a toilet (currently without water/sewage connection) and storage space. The first sleeping places are on the mezzanine floor to the ground floor. All bedrooms are heated with Giltstein stoves. The house entrance, the office and the dining room with kitchen are on the ground floor. A second bedroom is on the second mezzanine floor. The third bedroom on the upper floor is accessible via a staircase in the entrance area.

The property is suitable as a temporary place to stay in the high mountains and offers pleasant overnight accommodation.

There is a rental agreement with Swisscom for the operation of a mobile communications system, which can be taken over.


Zermatt is a municipality in the district of Visp in the southern part of the canton of Valais. The village has around 6,000 inhabitants and is located at around 1,600 m above sea level.

38 four-thousand-meter peaks, including the world-famous Matterhorn, a cross-border ski area open 365 days a year, gastronomy and hotels of the highest standard - Zermatt offers visitors and locals a wide range of options. The Matterhorn, one of the most famous landmarks in Switzerland, towers majestically over the village, and the unobstructed view of this imposing mountain is impressive.

The hospitable population welcomes tourists from all over the world to the traditional village. Although Zermatt welcomes guests from near and far as an extremely attractive place to stay, the place has retained its original charm to this day. Old barns and rustic granaries convey the authentic image of an old Valais village.

Zermatt is car-free, which contributes significantly to the relaxed atmosphere when strolling through Bahnhofstrasse, which is lined with numerous boutiques.

The highest mountain railway station in Europe is located here, as is the highest ski station. The area offers a descent of over 2,000 meters in altitude down to the village. Zermatt is the starting point for numerous varied hikes, bike rides and mountain tours.

The impressive Gornergrat Railway takes interested visitors right up to the glaciers.

The customs building is located at 3,480 m above sea level on a gentle, rocky slope on the Testa Grigia, directly on the border with Italy. The property is easily accessible on foot in summer and winter using the Zermatt cable cars. It is around 100 meters from the Testa Grigia mountain station to the property. Access is also possible from the Italian side (Cervinia).
