We handle moves in all municipalities in the Canton of Zurich – whether Zurich, Winterthur, Uster, Dübendorf or Wädenswil. Quote within 24 hours, no Saturday surcharge.
Flat, house or office in the Canton of Zurich – carefully packed, furniture assembled.
Move-out cleaning for a smooth flat handover in the Canton of Zurich.
Flat clearance, cellars and attics in the Canton of Zurich – disposed of properly.
Furniture from the Canton of Zurich stored clean and secure – short or long term.
From Wallisellen we reach every region of the canton quickly, but city neighbourhoods, the Goldküste, the Oberland and the Weinland place very different demands on moving day.
Whether it is an older building in the city, a housing estate in the Glatttal or a farmhouse in the Weinland: we survey by video or on site and then send a written quote.
For space on public ground, we submit the application to the municipality you are moving out of or into; the authority invoices the fee.
On densely built-up Lake Zurich there is little space in front of the building, and on the Pfannenstiel and Zimmerberg gradients are added; if needed, we provide a furniture lift.
For farmsteads and village centres between the Schnebelhorn and the Rhine, we check access and turning space and choose a smaller vehicle on minor roads.
In Zurich, Winterthur and around the airport, we relocate offices, IT and laboratories outside business hours, and files as an archive move on request.
At the destination, we assemble the furniture and go through the flat with you; if you change municipality, you register there, and the customer portal helps with this.
Our head office is in Wallisellen, right in the middle of the Canton of Zurich – short journeys to all 12 districts, whether you are moving within the canton, to another canton or abroad.
eUmzug (online change of address) is available everywhere in the Canton of Zurich. In the customer portal we remind you of the deadlines with exact dates.
Anyone moving in the Canton of Zurich must report the move to the municipality. A separate deadline applies to vehicles.

Wallisellen lies in the middle of the canton, close to its geographical centre in Wangen-Brüttisellen. The outward and return journey, which counts as working time, is therefore usually short. Flat size and access carry more weight: along the almost completely built-up lakeshore and in the city neighbourhoods, space in front of the building is tight, while in the Oberland and the Weinland access roads and gradients are more of an issue. The calculator above shows the right guide price.
| Apartment Size | Guide value | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 550 | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 850 | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 990.– | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'490.– | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'790.– | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 1'990.– | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
All prices include insurance and exclude 8.1% VAT. Guide values are based on average effort; the exact amount is determined during the free on-site survey and invoiced according to actual working time, including travel to and from the site.
There are 160 political municipalities spread across the Limmattal, the Unterland and the Zürcher Oberland. Once the customer portal knows your moving date and your new municipality, it creates the matching checklist with deadlines. This includes ready-made letters for insurers and direct links to the official offices, even for a move within the canton.

With around 1.6 million residents, the Canton of Zurich is the most populous canton in Switzerland. It stretches from the Rhine and the Weinland in the north via the city of Zurich and Lake Zurich to the Zürcher Oberland and is divided into 12 districts.

With 1,620,020 inhabitants (end of 2025), Zurich is the most populous canton in Switzerland and, with 925 people per square kilometre, the most densely populated after the two city cantons. It lies largely in the Swiss Plateau; the far south-east is pre-Alpine, and the north-west takes in the easternmost foothills of the Jura. Our base in Wallisellen is right in the middle of the canton – its geographical centre is in nearby Wangen-Brüttisellen.
The capital dominates the canton, but the regions differ greatly – and so do the demands placed on a removal:
The highest point is the Schnebelhorn at 1291 m, the lowest is at 330 m on the Hochrhein (High Rhine) near Weiach. The Uetliberg, the city's local mountain, belongs to the Albis ridge, which rises to 915 m. Besides Lake Zurich, the canton has two other larger lakes, the Greifensee and the Pfäffikersee. The Glatt runs entirely within the canton, while the Töss and Sihl shape their own valleys. With the Rafzerfeld, Zurich even has territory on the right bank of the Hochrhein. Two centuries ago, the water power of the Oberland's abundant mountain rivers and streams marked the beginning of Swiss industry.
Along the almost completely built-up lakeshore and in the city neighbourhoods, space in front of the building is tight; in the Oberland and the Weinland, access roads and gradients are more of an issue. We clarify the parking spot, carrying route and vehicle size during the free survey; where necessary, we organise the parking reservation and a furniture lift.
The canton has 160 political municipalities, 33 of which have at least 10,000 inhabitants. Each Gemeinde (municipality) sets its own Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate); the twelve districts, by contrast, are merely decentralised administrative units without autonomy of their own. Anyone moving within the canton may therefore also change their tax rate. District boundaries have changed too: today's Dietikon district was created in 1989 from eleven former rural municipalities of the Zurich district, and in 2016 Illnau-Effretikon and Kyburg merged.
From Wallisellen, we handle short moves between neighbouring municipalities as well as relocations right across the canton, for example from the Weinland to the Säuliamt. We carry out office relocations in the Glatttal or the city outside business hours, and private removals also on Saturdays without a Saturday surcharge. Furniture assembly, end-of-tenancy cleaning, disposal and furniture storage can be booked directly as extras.
Do you also do removals to the Zürcher Weinland and the Rafzerfeld?
Yes. The Weinland in the north between Winterthur and Schaffhausen is sparsely populated, and the Rafzerfeld lies on the far side of the Rhine. For rural addresses, we clarify access and vehicle size during the survey, and the quote follows within 24 hours.
Do you handle moves to the Knonauer Amt behind the Albis?
Yes. The Knonauer Amt, also known as the Säuliamt, is separated from the rest of the canton by the Albis ridge and is predominantly rural. We handle removals there from the city of Zurich and from all other regions of the canton.
More than 1.6 million people live in the Canton of Zurich in a confined area, yet there are also pre-Alpine valleys and sparsely populated stretches of land. We therefore adapt the vehicle, parking spot and carrying route to the region rather than following a standard procedure.
Directly behind the lakeside municipalities, the Pfannenstiel and Zimmerberg rise up. Down by the shore there is a lack of space for the removal van; higher up on the slopes, gradients and narrow access roads are added. We check both before quoting.
The central Glatttal is highly urbanised and closely merged with Zurich around the airport. From our base in Wallisellen the journeys here are short; what matters are large housing estates with lifts and a reserved parking spot.
In the south-east, the canton reaches into the pre-Alps, with suburbs and former industrial centres such as Uster and Wetzikon in between. For rural addresses, we clarify whether a smaller vehicle will make better progress on minor roads.
Between Winterthur and Schaffhausen lies the most sparsely populated region of the canton. For farmhouses and village centres, access and room to turn matter more than parking rules, so we plan the approach individually.
Whether in a city neighbourhood or on a village street: where the removal van has to stand on public ground, we submit the application for the parking reservation to the responsible office of your municipality. Any fee for the reservation is billed to you by the municipal office itself.
We dispose of furniture and household items that are not coming with you properly throughout the canton for CHF 65.– per m³. You can hand in smaller quantities at your municipality's collection point; details can be found in the local waste calendar.
The internationally minded city of Zurich, Winterthur as the second-largest city and the Unterland around the airport are the canton's economic centres. We relocate businesses outside operating hours, including IT, laboratory and archive moves.
From the Weinland to the Zürcher Oberland: here you will find each district with its capital, population, area and the particulars for your move.
The Knonauer Amt lies south-west of Zurich between the Albis and the Reuss. Rural villages, many detached houses and hillside locations on the Albis – we clarify access and carrying distances during the survey.

The Zurich Weinland in the north of the canton extends to the Thur and the Rhine – with the Rhine Falls near Laufen-Uhwiesen. Small municipalities, farmhouses and half-timbered buildings: for moves here we plan vehicle size and access in advance.

The Zürcher Unterland includes the Glattal with Zurich Airport in Kloten and extends to the Rhine near Eglisau. Our head office in Wallisellen is also in the Bülach district – short journeys included.

The Limmattal west of the city is the smallest district of the canton by area, but densely built up – with Dietikon, Schlieren and Urdorf. Many apartment blocks: we clarify lift and parking in advance.
Umzugsfirma Dietikon →
The Zürcher Oberland around the Bachtel with Wetzikon, Rüti, Wald and Bubikon. Hilly locations and sometimes snow in winter – we plan vehicles and time slots accordingly.
Umzugsfirma Hinwil →
The left shore of Lake Zurich and the Sihltal: Adliswil, Thalwil, Horgen, Wädenswil and Richterswil. Hillside locations with steep access roads are common – we clarify access during the survey.
Umzugsfirma Horgen →
The right shore of the lake, also known as the Gold Coast: Zollikon, Küsnacht, Meilen, Männedorf and Stäfa. Villas and terraced houses on hillsides – often with narrow access roads and many stairs.
Umzugsfirma Meilen →
Around the Pfäffikersee to the Tösstal: Illnau-Effretikon, Pfäffikon, Fehraltorf and Bauma. A mix of suburbs and rural hamlets.
Moving company Pfäffikon →
Around the Greifensee with Uster, Dübendorf, Volketswil and Fällanden. Uster is the third-largest town in the canton; many new residential areas with lifts and underground car parks.
Umzugsfirma Uster →
The largest district by area: the city of Winterthur, the second-largest city in the canton, and municipalities such as Seuzach, Elgg and Turbenthal. In Winterthur's old town, access is restricted.
Umzugsfirma Winterthur →
The Zurich district is identical to the city of Zurich and its 12 city districts – the most populous district. The Blue Zone, tram lines and old buildings without lifts shape many moves.
