Moving on the Zimmerberg: Rüschlikon in 8 steps
Lakeside slope, historic village centre, new builds by the station and international institutes: for Rüschlikon we divide the move into eight clearly planned steps.
- 01
Inspection on the lakeside slope
We view your flat, house or office in Rüschlikon, in person or by video, check access and floors and send the quote within 24 hours.
- 02
Stopping place via the Gemeindepolizei
We apply for the space for the removal van with the Gemeindepolizei Rüschlikon (municipal police). The municipality then bills its fee to you separately.
- 03
Packing material for home and office
We drop off free removal boxes, tape and padding, for private households as well as for folders and office supplies.
- 04
Measuring in the village centre
In the old houses on the Alte Landstrasse we check doors and staircases carefully. There we take large wardrobes and beds apart before carrying.
- 05Optional
Furniture lift on the slope
If the entrance is above the road or the stairwell is narrow, the furniture lift raises sofas and wardrobes directly via a balcony or window.
- 06
First occupancy by the station
In the new buildings on the lake side of the tracks we cover fresh floors and pad the lift car before the first piece of furniture comes in.
- 07
Institutes and laboratories
For research institutes and offices we relocate workstations as well as laboratory and IT equipment outside operating hours, individually padded and labelled.
- 08
Boxes gone, flat handed over
You can drop off empty boxes at the Entsorgungspark Adliswil. On request you hand over your previous flat cleaned by us and with a handover guarantee.
Moving to Rüschlikon
Changing residence to Rüschlikon: deadlines in the canton of Zurich
Anyone moving to Rüschlikon has 14 days to register with the municipality, as required by the canton of Zurich. In many municipalities this works online via eUmzug.
Your letters will follow you if Swiss Post receives the forwarding order 4 or more working days in advance. You do not need to tell Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) anything: your new Rüschlikon address reaches them automatically through the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).
New in Rüschlikon
Arriving in Rüschlikon: taxes, municipal police, waste disposal
Anyone moving to Rüschlikon pays an overall tax rate, excluding church tax, of 75% in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Zurich 119%. Rüschlikon is therefore lower than Zurich.
Parking on moving day
On the lakeside slope and on the Alte Landstrasse in the middle of the village, every metre of carrying distance counts. We apply for the stopping place free of charge with the Gemeindepolizei Rüschlikon, which is responsible for public parking spaces; the municipality charges the fee directly to you.
Disposal and bulky waste
We take old furniture and bulky waste with us during the move, at CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. You can also hand in small quantities of removal boxes yourself at the Entsorgungspark Adliswil.
Moving costs Rüschlikon
Cost of removals in Rüschlikon on the Zimmerberg
Most addresses in Rüschlikon are on the slope between Lake Zurich and the Zimmerberg ridge. Whether the removal van can stop directly in front of the house or a furniture lift is needed affects the effort more than the distance: Wallisellen is only around 12 km away as the crow flies, although travel there and back still counts as working time. In the village centre on the Alte Landstrasse we plan the stopping place precisely. The inspection is free of charge, and a cost ceiling is possible.

Getting to know Rüschlikon
Moving company Rüschlikon: living, researching and moving on the Zimmerberg
Rüschlikon is home to three think tanks: the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute in the Park im Grüene, the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory and Swiss Re's Centre for Global Dialogue in the «Villa Bodmer». Right next to them, 6,036 people (as of 2018) live in a village whose centre has remained largely intact.
Relocating offices and laboratories
An office relocation in this environment has different requirements from a change of flat. As your movers, we adapt to your business:
- We schedule the move of workstations outside operating hours, for example in the evening or on a Saturday.
- We clarify the stopping place, delivery and carrying distances during a free inspection.
- On request we store furniture that does not yet have a place at the new location.
- We dispose of old office furniture at the same time.
North slope built up, south slope green
The municipality stretches from Lake Zurich across the whole Zimmerberg down to the Sihl. People live mainly north of the Zimmerberg ridge, on the lake side. The southern slope with the Chopfholz and the Sihlhalde, by contrast, is largely forest and a local recreation area, and the Längimoos and Rinderweid fields are farmed extensively.
For a moving company in Rüschlikon this means: most addresses lie on the slope between the lake and the ridge. Whether the removal van can stop directly in front of the house or whether a furniture lift makes sense is something we look at in advance, free of charge and either at your home or by WhatsApp video call.
Alte Landstrasse and the village centre
The history of the village goes back a long way: on the Zimmerberg moraine there are burial mounds from the Hallstatt period, and the sulphurous Nidelbad healing spring was known from as early as 1500. Conrad Gessner mentioned it in 1553 in his book on the healing springs of Switzerland.
On the Alte Landstrasse stands a group of buildings with a winegrower's house from 1786, a wash house from 1804 and a large barn. The Reformed church, which grew out of a medieval chapel of St. Nicholas, and the local museum also shape the centre. In historic surroundings we choose the stopping place carefully, and we take care of the parking space reservation for you.
If you are moving in from the city, you might also compare the Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate): in 2026 it is 75% in Rüschlikon excluding church tax, and 119% in Zurich. The distance from our base in Wallisellen is around 12 km as the crow flies.
We also move households within the Horgen district, whether as movers in Thalwil, for a move to Kilchberg or to Adliswil. Your moving company in Rüschlikon replies to your enquiry with a quote within 24 hours.
Questions about Rüschlikon
Do you handle office relocations for institutes and offices in Rüschlikon?
Yes. Rüschlikon is home to the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory and Swiss Re's Centre for Global Dialogue, among others. We plan office relocations outside operating hours so that your business is interrupted as little as possible.
Do you also move households to addresses on the Zimmerberg ridge?
Yes. Rüschlikon stretches from the lake across the Zimmerberg to the Sihl, and mainly the lake side is inhabited. For addresses further up the slope we clarify access and vehicle size before the date.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Rüschlikon: lakeside slope, village centre and Bahnhof Süd
In Rüschlikon people live mainly on the north slope between Lake Zurich and the Zimmerberg ridge. The old village centre, new builds at the station and local institutes influence how we prepare a move here.
Bahnhof Süd site
On the lake side of the tracks, six new buildings with around 40 affordable flats are being built. For first occupancy of new builds, we agree lift, delivery and protection of the new floors with you in advance.
Alte Landstrasse in the village centre
On the Alte Landstrasse stands a group of buildings with a winegrower's house from 1786. In historic houses we measure doors and stairs and decide which furniture is dismantled or transported by furniture lift.
Nidelbad
The sulphurous Nidelbad healing spring has been known since 1500 and gave the area its name. Here too we clarify access and the stopping place during the inspection so that the removal van gets close enough to the entrance.
Parking reservation
Gemeindepolizei RüschlikonThe Gemeindepolizei Rüschlikon at Pilgerweg 29 is responsible for managing public parking spaces and for signage. We apply to them for the stopping place for your removal van, and the municipality bills the fee directly.
Disposal
Entsorgungspark AdliswilAccording to the municipality, you can also hand in cardboard from your move at the Entsorgungspark Adliswil (recycling centre) at Tüfistrasse 2. Any furniture and bulky items that are not coming along we load on moving day and dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Moving in Rüschlikon: questions and answers
Who dismantles and reassembles designer and modular furniture properly when moving in Rüschlikon?
Our own carpenters take care of that. They dismantle modular shelving, wall units and high-quality designer furniture with the right tools, label small parts and reassemble everything securely at the new address. We pad glass shelves and delicate surfaces separately for transport.
Who approves the stopping place if my house is on a steep street on the lakeside slope?
In that case too, the Gemeindepolizei Rüschlikon, to whom we submit the application. What is different on a slope is the choice of spot: we look for as level a place as possible near the entrance so that the van stands safely and can be loaded without danger. If this is further away, we plan a furniture lift or additional porters.
How do movers get a grand piano or upright piano into a house on the Rüschlikon lakeside slope?
With special straps, a dolly and protective blankets; where stairs are too steep or too narrow, we combine the transport with a furniture lift. With us, piano transport costs from CHF 250.–, depending on the instrument, steps and access. We determine the exact route into the house during the inspection.
How do you move from Rüschlikon over the Zimmerberg to the Sihl Valley?
Across the Zimmerberg ridge, which separates the residential area by the lake from the wooded southern slope towards the Sihl. For destinations such as Langnau am Albis or Adliswil we choose the route according to vehicle size and clarify the stopping place at both addresses, in the Sihl Valley with the municipality there. Furniture and boxes stay in the same van, so there is no reloading.
When should the date be fixed for first occupancy in the new builds on the lake side of the tracks?
As soon as the flat handover is confirmed, because in a new development many households move in within a short time. Coordinate your moving day with the management so that the lift and access are not occupied by several moves at once. We work within this window and protect the lift and new floors before the first trip.
When is our cleaning team present at the flat handover in Rüschlikon?
Always, if you book the end-of-tenancy cleaning with us: our team attends the inspection appointment with the property management. If defects are found, we fix them immediately and free of charge. This handover guarantee saves you a second cleaning and another appointment.
What happens to artworks and large mirrors when moving in Rüschlikon?
We pack pictures, sculptures and mirrors individually with padding, edge protectors and blankets and transport them upright and secured. At the new address we place them where you want them. The transport is insured; we discuss special pieces during the inspection.
Why can I move abroad from Rüschlikon with you without dealing with customs myself?
Because we handle the complete customs clearance, from export from Switzerland to import into the destination country. We draw up the inventory list with you, pack your household goods professionally and transport them insured. At the destination our carpenters assemble the furniture.
What information is needed for a laboratory relocation for a research institute in Rüschlikon?
A list of equipment with dimensions, weight and special requirements, plus a contact person who knows the processes in the laboratory. From this we plan the sequence, packaging and team size for the IT and laboratory relocation. In agreement with you, we schedule dismantling and reassembly outside operating hours so that research pauses for as short a time as possible.
