Removals in the canton of Zug in 10 steps – old town, Lorze plain, Ägeri valley and Rotkreuz
Eleven municipalities in a small area, but very different locations: our process for the canton of Zug covers the old town, new housing estates, hillside properties and business premises.
- 01
Recording municipality and location
First we establish which Zug municipality your move-out and move-in addresses are in and whether it is old town, lakeshore, valley floor or hillside.
- 02
Viewing with a tape measure
On site or by video we measure stairs, lift doors and the route to the vehicle and use this to determine team, vehicle and quote.
- 03
Permit for each municipality
For each address we find out which office of the relevant municipality approves the parking spot and submit the application there for you.
- 04Optional
Zug old town
Where access is restricted, we set loading time and location early and, if needed, plan a furniture lift for bulky items.
- 05
New builds in the Lorze plain
Between Cham, Steinhausen and Lorzen we line lift cabins, protect floors and corridors and carry along the shortest possible routes.
- 06
Hillsides and the Ägeri valley
On the Zugerberg and towards the Rossberg or Morgartenberg, gradient and access determine whether a large van or a smaller vehicle is used.
- 07
Laboratories in Rotkreuz
For pharmaceutical and laboratory businesses in Zug-West we pack equipment and servers individually and move them in the evening or at the weekend.
- 08
Transport across the cantonal border
Whether from Zurich, Lucerne or Schwyz: the furniture is secured in the cargo area, and the route is fixed before we set off.
- 09Optional
Interim storage for a gap in dates
If your new flat is not yet available, we store your household goods and deliver them on the agreed date.
- 10
Assembly and completion
Our own carpenters assemble furniture and workstations, we collect the boxes later, and the invoice follows based on actual working time.

Moving costs Zug
Removals in the canton of Zug: what short distances mean for the cost
The distances between Zug's eleven municipalities are short, but with 562 inhabitants per square kilometre space in front of the building is often tight. On the Lake Zug shore and in the Lorze plain, parking spot and carrying route matter most; in the Ägeri valley and near the foothills, gradient and vehicle size. You are invoiced for the actual working time, including the journey there and back from Wallisellen. On request we set a cost ceiling.
| 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.

Getting to know Zug
Removals in the canton of Zug: eleven municipalities on 239 square kilometres
At 239 km², Zug is the smallest canton with two seats in the Council of States. At the same time, 134,190 people live here (as of 30 September 2025), which is 562 inhabitants per square kilometre – far more than the Swiss average. For a move this means: the distances between the eleven municipalities are short, but space in front of the building can be tight. That is why we clarify parking spot and carrying route during the free viewing.
Two lakes, a plain and the foothills
The canton lies in the transition between the Swiss Plateau and the Pre-Alps. On the Schwyz border the Rossberg (1582 m above sea level) and Morgartenberg rise, and towards the north-west come foothills such as the Zugerberg and Gubel. The Lorze connects the two lakes: it rises from Lake Ägeri (Ägerisee) and flows into Lake Zug (Zugersee) between Zug and Cham. This results in three residential areas with different requirements for furniture transport:
- the Lake Zug shore, for example for a move in the town of Zug, in Cham, Hünenberg, Risch and Walchwil
- the Lorze plain with Baar and Steinhausen, where new housing estates have been built between Cham, Steinhausen and the Zug district of Lorzen
- the Ägeri valley, where Oberägeri and Unterägeri have almost grown together along Lake Ägeri
On the plain, the main factor is the distance from the front door to the van. The closer the address is to the foothills, the more important gradient and vehicle size become, which we determine in advance.
Office relocation in a business canton
At the end of 2010 the canton had almost 30,000 companies. Around 37,000 people commute to Zug for work every day, 12,000 of them from the canton of Lucerne alone. Rotkreuz in the municipality of Risch is a pharmaceutical hub, V-Zug and Siemens have sites in the town of Zug, and there are also around 100 commodity trading firms and the blockchain sector known as Crypto Valley.
Anyone relocating offices or laboratories needs a process that does not interrupt operations. We carry out office relocations outside business hours, on Saturdays too if you wish. We take discarded furniture for disposal, and anything that has no place at the new location yet goes into furniture storage.
From Zurich to the canton of Zug
Incidentally, there is no such thing as a distinct "Zug German". Ägeri and Walchwil lean towards Schwyz, Cham, Hünenberg and Risch more towards Aargau and Lucerne, Steinhausen and Baar towards the Plateau dialects – and the town of Zug has a bit of everything. The dialect boundaries show how closely the canton is intertwined with Zurich, Schwyz, Lucerne and Aargau; moves across the cantonal border are correspondingly common.
Zug belongs to the Zurich metropolitan region. The main lines Zurich–Lucerne and Zurich–Arth-Goldau–Bellinzona run through Zug station, and the north–south line from Basel through Rotkreuz. Since 2004 the Stadtbahn Zug has connected 15 stops every 15 minutes. For commuter households a Saturday moving date is a good fit, with no Saturday surcharge.
Whether you are moving in from the Zurich area or changing address within the canton: we handle your move as a moving company for Baar, for a move to Risch-Rotkreuz, as a moving company in Unterägeri or for a move in Oberägeri. Furniture assembly and end-of-tenancy cleaning of your old flat can be booked at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Who helps seniors move into a retirement flat in the canton of Zug?
Our team takes care of packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture by our own carpenters, and removing everything that is not coming along. On request we clean the previous flat. Relatives can attend the viewing and help decide which furniture fits into the smaller flat.
How do you move a grand or upright piano into a house on the Zugerberg?
With a specially planned piano transport from CHF 250.–. Beforehand we check gradient, stairs and door widths and determine how many porters are needed. The instrument is padded, secured in the vehicle and placed exactly where you want it at the destination, even on upper floors.
How do movers handle the Zug Riviera in Walchwil between lake and hillside?
By looking at the elevation of the address: Walchwil stretches from the lakeshore up the southern slope of the Zugerberg. We clarify whether the access is sufficient for the large van or whether a smaller vehicle shuttles, whether garden steps lengthen the carrying route and whether a furniture lift makes sense for terraced flats.
What do you watch for with flats that have an underground car park in Zug, Baar or Cham?
The clearance height and the route to the lift: if the removal van does not fit into the car park, we load at the building entrance and carry from there. We protect the lift cabin, door frames and corridors beforehand. During the viewing we note whether a lift leads directly from the basement to the flat.
What is different about a move to Edlibach or Finstersee in Menzingen?
The hilly location away from the lakeshores: the three villages of Menzingen are spread over agricultural land on the border with the canton of Zurich. For houses outside the village centres we check the farm access and turning space and plan the approach from the Zurich area to suit the address.
When is your team present at the flat handover in the canton of Zug?
At the handover appointment itself, provided you have booked the end-of-tenancy cleaning with us. We go through the rooms with the landlord or property management and fix any complaints immediately and free of charge. This handover guarantee saves you a second appointment and the risk of paying for additional cleaning.
What does an office move in Zug's Crypto Valley or at a commodity trading firm involve?
A plan for hardware and files: we pack servers, computers and monitors individually and shock-proof, and folders go into archive boxes numbered according to the filing plan. The move takes place in the evening or at the weekend, so that trading desks and teams in the town of Zug are ready again on the next working day.
What is involved in moving abroad from the canton of Zug?
A complete inventory list, deregistration with your previous municipality and customs clearance. We handle the complete customs process for you, meaning export from Switzerland and import in the destination country. We clarify which further documents the country requires before issuing the quote.
What preparation do the timber houses on the west shore of Lake Zug in Risch need?
Above all protection for wood and tight staircases: we lay floor protection, pad banisters and door frames and dismantle wardrobes before carrying. If the route from the house to the road is long, our team plans enough porters so that moving day in Risch runs without rush.
Local moving logistics
Removal logistics in the canton of Zug: lakeshore, Lorze plain and Ägeri valley
In the canton of Zug, eleven municipalities lie close together, yet the lakeshore, valley floor and Pre-Alpine valleys place different demands on vehicle, parking spot and carrying route. This is how we prepare moves between Lake Zug and Lake Ägeri.
Town of Zug and the Lake Zug shore
Around Zug's old town and in the lakeside municipalities of Cham, Hünenberg, Risch and Walchwil, many people live in a small space. We establish early where the removal van may park and plan a furniture lift for narrow stairwells.
Baar and Steinhausen in the Lorze plain
On the flat Lorze plain, new housing estates have been built between Cham, Steinhausen and the Zug district of Lorzen. There, lift doors, stairwell width and the distance from the entrance to the vehicle matter most.
Oberägeri and Unterägeri on Lake Ägeri
The two municipalities in the Ägeri valley have almost grown together along the lake and lie towards the Pre-Alps, where the Rossberg and Morgartenberg rise. For hillside addresses we determine the vehicle size before the quote is drawn up.
Rotkreuz and the Zug-West business region
In the west of the canton lies the Zug-West business region with the pharmaceutical hub of Rotkreuz, whose station is on the north–south line from Basel. Here we plan flat and office moves separately according to access, floor and preferred date.
Parking reservation
In the canton of Zug with its eleven municipalities, we clarify for each address which office approves the parking space reservation. We handle the application for you, and the authority charges the fee directly. That way the removal van is parked close to the entrance on moving day.
Disposal
You can take small quantities such as cardboard, glass or metal to your municipality's collection point yourself. Larger quantities, such as old furniture, we take away on moving day and dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Office, IT and laboratory relocations in the canton of Zug
Almost 30,000 companies (as of the end of 2010), pharmaceutical headquarters in Rotkreuz and a development centre for laboratory equipment from Roche Diagnostics shape the canton. We relocate offices outside business hours, laboratories through our IT and laboratory relocation service, and files through our archive relocation service.
