It was played at the Grasshoppersplatz, Hardturmstrasse in Zürich.
Confirmed by Fremden-Blatt (Vienna), see link in historical data sources.
In the book Schaub, Martin: ’Das goldene Buch des Schweizer Fussballs, 750 Länderspiele von 1905 bis 2014’, it’s written ’Sechs Jahre vergingen bis zum nächstem internationalen Spiel in Zürich, einem 3:2-Erfolg gegen Österreich, das am Stephanstag des 26. Dezember 1917 auf dem seit 1909 bestehenden Grasshoppersplatz an der Hardturmstrasse wegen heftiger Schneefällen und eisiger Kälte nur gerade 2000 Besucher anzulocken wusste. Es sollte das einzige Zürcher Länderspiel auf diesem Platz bleiben.’
The venue is very close to the later Hardturm stadium.
