Swiss Customs Museum

The Swiss Customs Museum tells the stories of an area with an identity that has always been linked to the border. Its aim is to encourage reflection on the activities of customs officers and border guards of the Swiss Confederation, with a look at local history and culture between past and present, between border management and surveillance (combating illegal trafficking and counterfeiting, species protection, etc.).

The museum was originally a surveillance post on the border with Italy, now a vantage point for observation. Located opposite Gandria and Monte Brè, it can be reached by boat and, with a group of traditional grotti and rustici, forms the hamlet of Cantine di Gandria.
