Moving in Adliswil in 6 steps – from the Sihl riverside to the Albis slope
Valley floor or slope, city boundary or village centre: for every place to live in Adliswil we plan the parking spot, vehicle and carrying route to suit the address.
- 01
Check addresses and quote
You give us your moving-out and moving-in addresses; for a flat on the Albis or Zimmerberg we take a close look at the gradient and turning space in advance.
- 02
Application to the police
We apply for the parking spot to the joint police of Adliswil and Langnau; if you are moving across the boundary to Zurich, we coordinate both applications.
- 03
Protect stairwell and lift
Before the first item is moved, we line the lift car and banisters and lay floor protection right up to the front door so that nothing gets scratched.
- 04
Vehicle to suit the location
On the cramped valley floor by the Sihl we park the van close to the entrance; on steep residential streets we choose the vehicle size according to access and bends.
- 05Optional
Furniture lift for upper floors
If a sofa or wardrobe will not fit through a narrow stairwell on the slope, we can lift it with the furniture lift straight over the balcony or through the window on request.
- 06
Assembly and walk-through
At your new home our carpenters put the furniture together, then you walk through all the rooms with the team and check that everything is in the right place.
Moving to Adliswil
Change of address to Adliswil: registration, post and Serafe
If you move to Adliswil, under Zurich law you have 14 days to register with your new municipality; in many places in the canton this can be done conveniently online via eUmzug.
A mail forwarding order with Swiss Post should be placed at least 4 working days before moving day. You do not need to deal with Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) yourself; it receives the new address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).

Moving to Adliswil: taxes and the town at a glance
In 2026, Adliswil's total tax rate excluding church tax is 104 %. For comparison in 2026: Zurich 119 %. Adliswil is therefore lower than Zurich.
Parking on moving day
Between the blocks of flats on the valley floor by the Sihl, a free space outside the building is rare. We apply for the reservation for the removal van free of charge; the Polizei Adliswil - Langnau am Albis reviews the application and sends you its fee directly.
Disposal and bulky waste
The worn-out sofa or the old cellar cupboard simply leaves with us on moving day. We charge CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour for this. The town of Adliswil can tell you where to drop off small quantities yourself.
Moving costs Adliswil
Moving in Adliswil: costs between the Sihl valley and the slopes
At around 12 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen, the journey to Adliswil is short, and because travel to and from the job counts as billed working time, this share stays small. The location matters more: addresses on the slopes of the Zimmerberg and Albis mean gradients and longer carrying routes, while on the densely built valley floor by the Sihl the parking spot is decisive. Calculate the guide price above; new customers receive a 20% discount.

Adliswil at a glance
Adliswil at a glance: Sihltal, city boundary and cable car
For us, Adliswil is not just a point on the map, but a real place of work with its own routes, access roads and neighbourhoods. Adliswil lies in the lower Sihl Valley between the Albis and the Zimmerberg, on the border with the city of Zurich. Adliswil railway station is on the Sihltalbahn S4; the Adliswil–Felsenegg cable car is the only public aerial cableway in the canton of Zurich.
Adliswil belongs to the district of Horgen in the canton of Zurich.

Getting to know Adliswil
Moving company Adliswil: between the Sihl, the Albis and the Zimmerberg
Since the 1950s Adliswil has grown from a village into a small town in the Zurich agglomeration; in 1974 it introduced a town constitution with a town council and a Grosser Gemeinderat (town parliament). Today 19,856 people live here (as of 2025) in 9031 households (as of 2025). For a moving company in Adliswil, the town is easy to reach at around 12 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen.
First the slopes, then the valley floor
The slopes of the Zimmerberg and Albis were settled first, because the valley floor along the Sihl was repeatedly threatened by flooding. A bridge over the Sihl is documented since 1475, a mill as early as 1248; the half mill wheel in the town's coat of arms recalls it. Today a third of the municipal area is forest, while housing and transport take up almost half.
This position between valley and slope also shapes your move. During the free survey, on site or by WhatsApp video, we clarify:
- for addresses on the slope: gradient, carrying route and the right vehicle size
- for flats on the densely built valley floor: the parking spot and, where necessary, the parking reservation
- whether a furniture lift makes sense for heavy furniture on upper floors
From silk weaving to insurance
In the 19th century the Mechanische Seidenweberei Adliswil brought a strong burst of growth, and the chocolate maker Norma was also based here. Today most businesses work in the service sector. Generali and the Schweizerische Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft (Swiss Re) have parts of their administration in Adliswil, and Hilti has its Swiss head office here; in total around 5000 people work in the town. For offices, our removals firm carries out the business relocation outside working hours, including furniture assembly, disposal and, if needed, furniture storage.
On the road in the Sihltal
Many residents work in Zurich. Running parallel to the Sihltalbahn railway, a main road leads from Zurich through Adliswil via Sihlbrugg into the canton of Zug, and our removal van also reaches the Sihltal this way. Since 1954 the cable car has also been gliding up from Adliswil to the Felsenegg, the only public aerial cableway in the canton. If you commute on weekdays, you can move your moving day to a Saturday with us, with no Saturday surcharge.
The Reformed church of 1898 stands on a rise south of the centre, and on the Sihlweg the Sri Sivasubramaniar Temple is one of twenty Hindu shrines in Switzerland. With over 130 clubs and associations, local life is varied. For a move within the neighbourhood, too, we are your movers in Adliswil: for a move to Langnau am Albis, as your removals firm for Thalwil or for furniture transport into the city of Zurich.
Questions about Adliswil
How do you plan a move to the slopes of the Albis or Zimmerberg?
Adliswil lies in the lower Sihltal between the Albis and the Zimmerberg, whose slopes were settled early on. For such addresses we check the gradient, carrying route and vehicle size during the survey.
Do you also move people from Adliswil to Zurich or the other way round?
Yes. Adliswil borders directly on the city of Zurich and is linked to it by the Sihltalbahn and the main road through the Sihltal. We clarify the parking spot and carrying route for both addresses and send you the quote within 24 hours.
Local moving logistics
Removals logistics in Adliswil: Sihl valley floor and hillside locations
Adliswil stretches from the valley floor along the Sihl up to the slopes of the Albis and Zimmerberg. This creates different requirements for parking spot, carrying route and vehicle, which we clarify with you before moving day.
Valley floor along the Sihl
Housing and transport take up almost half of the municipal area, so space on the valley floor is tight. We plan the parking spot as directly in front of the entrance as possible and reserve it in good time so that carrying distances stay short.
Slopes of the Albis and Zimmerberg
The hillside locations on both sides of the valley were the first areas of Adliswil to be settled. For addresses on a gradient, access and turning space decide the vehicle size; a furniture lift raises heavy items to upper floors where needed.
Grüt on the boundary with the city of Zurich
Grüt lies close to the city boundary with Zurich. A move across this boundary needs two parking spots in two municipalities, and we coordinate their reservations so that both apply to the same moving day.
Parking reservation
Polizei Adliswil - Langnau am AlbisAccording to the town, the Polizei Adliswil - Langnau am Albis (joint police force) is responsible for traffic police duties relating to parked vehicles. We apply there for the parking reservation or the no-parking zone for your removal van; the authority invoices its fee to you directly.
Disposal
Anything sorted out while packing can be taken away on moving day on request and disposed of properly for CHF 65.– per m³. The responsible office in Adliswil provides information on drop-off options for small quantities you would like to bring yourself.
B2B
Office, IT and archive relocations in Adliswil
Insurers such as Generali and the Schweizerische Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft have parts of their administration in Adliswil, and Hilti has its Swiss head office here. We move offices outside working hours, including IT and archive relocation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers about moving in Adliswil
Who arranges both parking spots when I move from Grüt to the city of Zurich?
We do: in Adliswil we submit the application to the Polizei Adliswil - Langnau am Albis, in Zurich to the office responsible there. All we need from you are the exact house numbers, the fixed date and a note on whether there is a courtyard or driveway. You receive the fees of both authorities directly.
Who attends the flat handover in Adliswil if I book end-of-tenancy cleaning?
Our cleaning team comes along to the handover appointment with the property management. If they object to any spot, we re-clean immediately and free of charge until the flat is accepted. So you do not have to organise a second cleaning appointment and can concentrate on furnishing your new home.
How do movers get a large wardrobe into a flat on the rise near the Reformed church?
First by dismantling it: our carpenters take wardrobes and beds apart before transport so that they fit through narrow stairwells. During the survey we measure doors and turns. If that is not enough, we lift individual parts up with the furniture lift and put them back together upstairs.
How is a piano moved into a house on the slope of the Albis or Zimmerberg?
With our piano transport from CHF 250.–: the instrument is padded, moved on a dolly and strapped down in the vehicle. Because hillside access roads can be steep and winding, we look at stairs, landings and the route from the street to the front door beforehand and decide the number of porters accordingly.
Where does the removal van park if there is no space outside my house on the Sihl valley floor?
On the nearest section that can be reserved, which we agree on with you during the survey. If this makes the route to the entrance longer, we plan extra porters and lay floor protection right up to the flat door. That way moving day on the dense valley floor still runs smoothly and stays manageable for the neighbours.
What do movers watch out for with a flat right on the main road through the Sihltal?
Above all a parking spot that does not obstruct through traffic between Zurich and Sihlbrugg. We check in advance whether a side street or courtyard is closer to the entrance and reserve that space via the police. We carry heavy items so that nobody blocks the pavement for long.
When should I fix my moving date in Adliswil?
Ideally straight after signing the new tenancy agreement. That leaves time for the survey, quote and the parking spot application, and you have more choice of dates. If you live on the valley floor by the Sihl, an early reservation is especially worthwhile because parking space there is scarce.
What applies to insurance offices in Adliswil moving files and computers?
We combine office, IT and archive relocation in one job outside your office hours. Computers and screens are individually wrapped for protection, and folders go into labelled boxes according to your filing plan. At the new location our carpenters set up the workstations so that your team can carry on working the next morning.
