List of buildings and structures in Switzerland above 3000 m

This is a list of buildings and infrastructures above 3,000 metres (9,843 ft) in Switzerland. As this height approximately corresponds to the level of the climatic snow line in the Alps, infrastructures located above it are generally subject to harsh weather conditions and are more difficult to build. This list also includes structures located precisely on the Italian border (*) that could be partially in Switzerland.
