Boundary point of Ponte Ribellasca

Boundary point of Ponte Ribellasca is a border marker between Italy and Switzerland located in a mountain area. It connects two main roads and serves as the official crossing point for vehicle traffic between the two countries.

The border point was established through agreements between Italy and Switzerland and marks a long-shared border in the Alps. A Financial Guard unit is stationed there to handle customs control duties.

This border area connects Italian and Swiss villages where residents cross daily and two ways of life meet. The local community regularly moves between the two sides, shaping the everyday character of this crossing point.

The crossing is accessible from both sides of the border via two main roads and operates year-round for vehicles. Visitors should have identification documents ready and may experience delays due to customs procedures.

A railway station at this border crossing functions as a rail border post connecting the two countries by train as well. This makes it a rare place where you can see both road and rail traffic crossing national boundaries simultaneously.
