I'd wager the family name is Grobitz. I really can't decipher the unit.
The address should be ok.
Rue Gare 35, Vallorbe. French Switzerland. Directly on the border.
Means Station Road.
I'll try to find out which units are or were stationed there.
34a cp., btg. Susa, 3° rgt. Alpini

Family Name and Unit in Troop tag
Ifd I read it correctly, the family name could be "Grobéty", a name sometimes found in the french part of Switzerland. The unit designation, short "Dét. Destr. 4", would be "Détachement Déstruction 4". Youi could translate this as "Destruction Unit 4", a small unit responsible for one or more of the objects like bridges or difficult street passages prepared to be destroyed by explosion, if the enemy was about to reach it and take it.
