Testa Grigia (French : Tête grise, lit. "grey head") (3,479 m) is a rocky prominence above the Theodul Pass, located on the border between Italy ( Aosta Valley) and Switzerland ( Valais). It overlooks the Plateau Rosa section of the Theodul Glacier on its east side.
The summit can be reached from Breuil-Cervinia and is the culminating point of the Italian part of the international ski area with Zermatt. A cross-border connection with the Klein Matterhorn (3,883 m) over the Theodul Glacier was completed in July 2023. [2]
