Border crossing: Switzerland
Saint-Gingolph is the crossing in the lakeside village of the same name. If you are reclaiming French VAT, the Swiss customs guide lists the French office as staffed Monday to Friday, 07:00–18:00. It lists the Swiss office separately, daily 05:00–22:00.
These are customs service hours. Check them when planning a stop for paperwork. For a French VAT refund, get export validation on the French side before entering Switzerland. Checked 3 November 2026 against the Swiss customs guide on French VAT refunds.
