    Process

    Your move in Cham in 8 steps – from the lakeshore to Hagendorn

    From the centre at the outflow of the Lorze to the hamlets towards the Reuss: this is how we carry out a move in Cham, tailored to parking zones, access roads and building type.

    1. 01

      Initial call and site visit

      You describe your flat, floor and destination address; we then check on site how long the carrying route is and which vehicle fits your street.

    2. 02

      Application to the Polizeiamt

      The Polizeiamt Cham (municipal police office) issues the permit for the parking space. We submit the application so the truck does not have to stand in the blue zone with limited parking time.

    3. 03

      Agree the packing plan

      Together we decide what you pack yourself and what our team handles, and label the boxes by destination room for quick unpacking.

    4. 04

      Protection in developments

      In newer residential complexes we line the lift car and cover floors; in older houses we also protect handrails and tight stair corners.

    5. 05

      Hamlets and convent farms

      For addresses in Hatwil, Wannhäusern or near Frauenthal, we clarify turning space and access in advance so the vehicle gets to the house without detours.

    6. 06

      Drive around the lake

      Whether within Cham, to Hünenberg or to the town of Zug: the furniture is strapped down in the cargo area, and the route is fixed before departure.

    7. 07

      Offices in the ZugWest area

      We relocate companies, laboratories and archives in the evening or at the weekend; equipment is labelled and put in its intended place at the new location.

    8. 08

      Setting up and completion

      Our carpenters reassemble the furniture, we take surplus items away on request, collect the boxes later, and invoice according to the quote.

    Moving to Cham

    Registering your residence in Cham: deadline and eUmzug

    Registration in Cham is usually due within 14 days of moving in. This can often be done online via eUmzug (online change of address).

    Swiss Post needs your forwarding order at least 4 working days before you move out. You do not need to contact Serafe (radio/TV licence fee), because the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) passes on the address data automatically.

    Moving to Cham: taxes compared with Zug and Hünenberg

    The municipal tax rate of Cham is 54 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Hünenberg 53 %, Zug 52 % and Steinhausen 53 %. Cham is therefore higher than Zug.

    Parking on moving day

    In the centre and by the lake, parking costs money from the 16th minute. That is why we organise the parking space reservation for your moving day free of charge with the Polizeiamt; its fee is invoiced to you directly.

    Disposal and bulky waste

    We load larger quantities and old furniture directly during your move in Cham, charged at CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. The municipality values properly separated waste, and we take that into account.

    Moving costs Cham

    Moving in Cham on Lake Zug: what the price depends on

    Cham is around 28 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies and has had a motorway connection since 1979. The journey is part of the working time we charge for. Locally, the stopping point on the lakeshore and around the centre, access to hamlets such as Hatwil or Wannhäusern and the carrying route in newer developments make the difference. On request, we set a cost ceiling.

      Moving to Cham: checklist and registration in the canton of Zug

      From Hagendorn via Oberwil to Enikon, several villages and hamlets belong to the municipality of Cham. Our portal knows when you are moving and to which municipality. It creates a checklist with deadlines, prepares the necessary letters and links directly to the official offices, so nothing gets left undone when you move to Lake Zug.

      • Municipality Registration usually within 14 days, online via eUmzug.
      • Road Traffic Office report your new address for your vehicle and driving licence.
      • Post Forwarding at least 4 working days before the move.
      • Serafe no action required – handled via the residents' registration office.

      What the portal prepares for your move to Cham

      • Notify your insurers: On the lakeshore, in Hagendorn or in Lindencham: for your household contents and liability policies, all you need is the prepared letter from the portal, completed with the policy number and moving date.
      • Set up mail forwarding: If you are moving from Zug, Steinhausen or Hünenberg to Cham, set up forwarding at least 4 working days beforehand. The link in the portal takes you to the Swiss Post service.
      • Report your departure: If you are coming from Knonau or another municipality outside the canton of Zug, deregister there. The checklist leads you to the relevant office and can be ticked off afterwards.
      • Register your arrival: In Cham you usually register within 14 days. The checklist derives the deadline from your moving date and links to the official offices in the canton of Zug.

        Cham on the Lorze: location, transport and districts

        Every move in Cham starts with us taking a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Cham lies on the northern shore of Lake Zug, where the Lorze flows out of the lake, in hilly countryside east of the Reuss plain. Cham station and the Alpenblick stop are on the Zug–Lucerne line; the Cham and Zug motorway exits and the Blegi interchange serve the municipality.

        Whether in the centre or in Lindencham, Friesencham, Rumentikon, Hagendorn, Bibersee or Niederwil: we clarify access and space conditions during the survey before every move. Besides Cham itself, we also operate in the neighbouring municipalities of Hünenberg, Zug, Steinhausen, Knonau and Maschwanden.

        Getting to know Cham

        Moving company Cham – where the Lorze leaves Lake Zug

        The Lorze river has shaped Cham for centuries. Mills were already turning on it in 1279, and in 1657 a paper mill was built which, as Papierfabrik Cham AG, became the municipality's largest employer in the 20th century and closed in 2015. The industrial municipality has become a town: since 1990, Cham has statistically counted as the third town in the canton of Zug.

        Growth with consequences for moving day

        The population grew with the economy, accompanied by a great deal of construction. Today 18,547 people live in Cham (as of 2026). Many moves lead to newer developments, others to older houses. As your moving company in Cham, we look at both situations during the free site visit, on site or via WhatsApp video, and fix the stopping point, carrying route and vehicle size.

        The landscape is shaped by flat glacial moraines, gentle hills east of the Reuss plain. On the lakeshore and in the residential areas around the centre, the main question is where the removal truck may stand. If necessary, we organise a parking space reservation for this.

        Hamlets, convents and lakeshore

        Besides the centre, a whole series of villages and hamlets belong to Cham. In addition to the better-known districts, these include:

        • Oberwil and Hatwil
        • Islikon, Wannhäusern and Enikon
        • the Frauenthal convent in Hagendorn
        • the Heiligkreuz convent in Cham

        Hagendorn shows how old the settlement is: to the west of it, a 2nd-century Roman mill with several water wheels was excavated. Especially for farms and hamlets outside the village, we clarify access in advance so that our removal team arrives on moving day without having to search.

        A workplace for corporations and trades

        Cham is part of the ZugWest economic region. Alongside Vevey, the municipality is still a registered seat of Nestlé today; its roots lie in the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company, founded in 1866. As early as 2001, a good 80 percent of businesses belonged to the service sector.

        If you are relocating offices, we organise the office move outside business hours, including furniture assembly, disposal of old furniture and furniture storage if the new premises are not yet free. The Zurich–Lucerne railway has run through Cham since May 1864, and the motorway connection has existed since 1979. For commuter households, we are happy to schedule the move on a Saturday. Our base in Wallisellen is around 28 km away as the crow flies.

        Distances within the Ennetsee and around the lake are short. A change of home with your removal company for Hünenberg, a move in Steinhausen or to the town of Zug is easy to plan with your movers in Cham, with no Saturday surcharge and, on request, with end-of-tenancy cleaning of your old flat.

        Questions about Cham

        Do you also move to smaller hamlets such as Hatwil, Islikon or Enikon?
        Yes. Hatwil, Islikon, Wannhäusern, Enikon and Oberwil belong to the municipality of Cham. For addresses outside the centre, we clarify access and stopping point during the site visit so the removal truck is positioned correctly straight away.

        Do you handle office relocations in the ZugWest economic region?
        Yes. Cham belongs to the ZugWest economic region and is strongly shaped by the service sector. We plan office moves outside your business hours and set up the workstations at the new location.

        Local moving logistics

        Moving in Cham: parking zones, lakeshore and hamlets

        In Cham, parking rules differ by area, from the paid centre to the blue zone in residential areas. We therefore clarify where the removal truck may stand before the appointment.

        Centre, Röhrliberg and lakeshore

        Around the centre, the AndreasKlinik and the Röhrliberg school, as well as by the lake, parking is charged from the 16th minute. A reserved stopping point prevents the truck having to be loaded far away.

        Lindencham, Friesencham and Rumentikon

        Outside the centre, the blue zone with limited parking time applies in residential and business areas. That is not enough for a full moving day, so we plan the truck's parking space in advance.

        Hagendorn with the Frauenthal convent

        Hagendorn with the Frauenthal convent is one of the villages outside the main village. For houses there, we check access and turning space so vehicle and carrying route match on moving day.

        Parking reservation

        Polizeiamt

        In Cham, day and long-term parking cards are issued by the Polizeiamt of the Einwohnergemeinde (municipality) at Dorfplatz 6. We apply there on your behalf for the necessary parking space reservation for the removal truck, and the municipality bills you the fee directly.

        Disposal

        The municipality of Cham attaches importance to correctly separated waste. Take small quantities to your municipality's collection point; we take larger quantities and old furniture with us and dispose of them properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

        B2B

        Office, IT and laboratory relocations in Cham

        Cham belongs to the ZugWest economic region and is a registered seat of Nestlé. For companies, we plan office relocations outside business hours, IT and laboratory moves, and the relocation of archives and files.

        Region and services

        On the road in the canton of Zug and around Lake Zug

        From Cham we move people to Hünenberg, Steinhausen or Zug; Baar, Menzingen and Oberägeri are also part of our service area. Across the cantonal border, Knonau and Maschwanden are quickly reached.

        Frequently asked questions

        Your questions about moving in Cham, answered

        Who authorises the truck's parking space in Cham if you live in the See or Eizmoos leisure area?

        The Polizeiamt of the municipality at Dorfplatz is responsible there too. We submit the application with your exact address, the date and the space required, so the truck does not end up in one of the visitor car parks by the water. The municipality bills you the permit fee directly; it does not appear on our invoice.

        How does a move in Cham work if the building only has an underground car park and no forecourt?

        A removal truck usually does not fit into an underground car park, so we plan the parking space on the street in front of the entrance and have it authorised. We measure the route from there through the entrance, stairwell or lift during the site visit and protect it on moving day with blankets and floor protection.

        Where is the cantonal border if you move from Cham to Knonau or Maschwanden?

        Right to the north: Knonau and Maschwanden are neighbouring municipalities of Cham but belong to the canton of Zurich. For the transport, it remains a short move with one team. You deregister in Cham and register in the Zurich municipality; we apply for the stopping point at the destination with the office responsible there.

        When do you collect the furniture if moving into a new development in Cham is delayed?

        On the originally planned moving-out day, so you can hand back the old flat on time. Until the keys for the new build are ready, your belongings stay in our dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected storage. We then deliver everything directly to the new flat in a second job and assemble the furniture.

        What can tradespeople do who also need to park when I move in to Cham?

        For painters, electricians or kitchen fitters, Cham offers a trade parking card for one day, 30 or 300 days, available from the Einwohnerdienste (residents' services). Our removal truck does not need one, as it stands on the authorised parking space. Arrange appointments with the tradespeople so that removal crew and fitters do not cross paths in the stairwell.

        What help does a medical practice get when moving near the AndreasKlinik?

        Our IT and laboratory relocation is designed for delicate equipment: computers, monitors and medical devices are packed individually, labelled and secured in the vehicle. We plan the move outside consulting hours. Because paid zones apply around the clinic, we apply to the Polizeiamt early for the truck's parking space.

        Why is end-of-tenancy cleaning with a handover guarantee worth it in Cham?

        Because it means the handover is done in one appointment: our cleaning team attends the inspection with the property management. If anything is criticised, we clean it again immediately and at no extra cost. There is no second appointment or bill for follow-up cleaning, and you can concentrate fully on settling into your new home.
