To Bäretswil in 7 steps – from the village to the farmsteads
Between the valley floor and the Allmen, almost every access road in Bäretswil is different. That is why our team plans the move address by address, with some leeway for gradients.
- 01
Inspect access, send quote
During an appointment on site or by video, we check how wide and steep the road to your house is and then send you the quote.
- 02
Parking spot in the village
If the van has to stand on the main road or another public area, we take care of the permit from the responsible office in Bäretswil.
- 03
A vehicle for the hills
For farms in Hinterburg, Ghöch or Tanne, we use a smaller vehicle on narrow roads and already factor any second trip into the quote.
- 04Optional
Flarz house and narrow stairways
In the old Flarz houses of Wappenswil, stairways are often tight; we therefore dismantle bulky furniture or lift it through the window with the furniture lift.
- 05
Protect the house, load up
We cover stairs, floors and door frames before the first piece of furniture leaves the house; upholstered furniture goes into protective covers and is secured in the van.
- 06
Setting up at the destination
Whether Adetswil, Wetzikon or Bauma: at the new location, our carpenters reassemble the furniture and distribute the boxes to the right rooms.
- 07
Check before departure
Before we leave, you check with us that everything is in place; on request, we take items you no longer need for proper disposal.
Moving to Bäretswil
Registering your new address in Bäretswil correctly
In the Canton of Zurich, your new municipality of residence must be informed of your arrival within 14 days; many municipalities allow you to do this online via eUmzug.
Swiss Post forwards your letters provided the order reaches it at least 4 working days before moving day. You do not need to notify Serafe (radio/TV licence fee); the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) passes on the address automatically.
New in Bäretswil
Arriving in Bäretswil: the essentials for newcomers
The total tax rate excluding church tax in Bäretswil is 104 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Bauma 120 %, Hinwil 116 %, Wetzikon 119 %, Pfäffikon 110 % and Zurich 119 %. Bäretswil is therefore lower than Zurich.
Parking on moving day
If the removal van stands on public ground on the main road in the village or in Adetswil, we apply for the space for you free of charge at the responsible office in Bäretswil. The authority then charges you the fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
We take old furniture from your house or farm with us during the move and charge CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. You hand in small amounts of waste paper and green waste yourself at the Entsorgungsstelle Werkhof.
Moving costs Bäretswil
How much does a removal in Bäretswil with farm access cost?
Our team travels around 22 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen to Bäretswil, and the outward and return journey count as actual working time. There is a good 460 metres of altitude within the municipality: a move to one of the over one hundred farmsteads on the slopes requires different planning from a flat in the village or in Adetswil. In Flarz houses, we check stairs and passageways. A quote follows within 24 hours.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Bäretswil → Bauma, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 870.–Bäretswil → Hinwil, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'020.–Bäretswil → Wetzikon, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'530.–Bäretswil → Dürnten, approx. 7 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'840.–Bäretswil → Pfäffikon, approx. 7 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'070.–Bäretswil → Bubikon, approx. 8 km | 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.

Bäretswil at a glance
Bäretswil between the Glatttal and Tösstal
Anyone moving in Bäretswil benefits from a moving company that takes a close look at the town and its surroundings before moving day. Bäretswil lies on the north-western edge of the Allmen, on a saddle between the Glatt and Töss valleys in the Zurich Oberland. The railway line was closed in 1969 and replaced by buses; a steam railway now runs on the former line.
Our moving service covers the whole of Bäretswil, including Adetswil, Bettswil, Wappenswil, Tisenwaldsberg, Neuthal and Hof. Bäretswil borders Bauma, Fischenthal, Hinwil, Wetzikon and Pfäffikon; we organise moves across municipal boundaries with one team and one quote. Bäretswil belongs to the district of Hinwil in the canton of Zurich.

Moving in Bäretswil: what we pay attention to
Besides the main village, Bäretswil comprises the second village of Adetswil as well as numerous hamlets such as Bettswil, Wappenswil, Kleinbäretswil, Neuthal and Tanne, plus more than a hundred individual farms spread across the hilly landscape of the Zurich Oberland. Anyone moving here needs a partner who knows the narrow, sometimes steep access roads to the outlying hamlets, rather than discovering them on moving day. On the slope of the Allmen, the Schufelberger Egg even carries the highest drivable pass in the canton of Zurich – an area where you need to know the topography.
In the Neuthal district, the former spinning and weaving mill ensemble from 1827 recalls the municipality's textile past – today an industrial heritage site with narrow, historic access routes. Bäretswil has had no railway connection of its own since the Uerikon–Bauma railway closed in 1969; it is served by VZO bus lines to Wetzikon, which connects to the S-Bahn network. For stopping and parking permits on moving day, we coordinate early with the Bäretswil municipal administration so that the removal van can stand exactly where it needs to.
Whether a house in one of the hamlets, an apartment in the village centre of Bäretswil or Adetswil, or commercial premises in the small industrial zone: we plan every Private Move and Corporate relocation in Bäretswil in detail and at the cost ceiling agreed in advance.
Getting to know Bäretswil
Moving company Bäretswil – over a hundred farmsteads and a saddle between two valleys
Covering 2219 ha, Bäretswil is one of the largest rural municipalities in the Canton of Zurich, ranking seventh by area. Spread across this area are the village, Adetswil, numerous outlying hamlets and over a hundred individual farmsteads. The municipality has 5,049 inhabitants (as of 2020). Our base in Wallisellen is around 22 km away as the crow flies, and as your moving company in Bäretswil we plan the journey accordingly carefully.
A good 460 metres of altitude within the municipality
The lowest point is at 616 m above sea level, the highest on the Allmen at 1077 m; the village railway station lies at 696 m. Anyone moving from the valley floor to a farmstead on the slope therefore covers considerable differences in altitude.
That is why, during the free survey, on site or via WhatsApp video, we clarify for every address:
- the gradient and width of the access road, which determine the vehicle size
- the parking spot and carrying route, especially for farmhouses and isolated farmsteads
- whether a furniture lift makes sense for upper floors
Living above the fog: why Adetswil has grown
Since 1960, Bäretswil has been in demand as a residential municipality thanks to its fog-free location, and a great deal has been built in Adetswil in particular. As early as 1990, 63% of the working population commuted elsewhere, mainly to Wetzikon, Uster and Zurich. For commuter households, our movers in Bäretswil also work on Saturdays, without a Saturday surcharge, so that no working day is lost.
The municipality has an eventful history: in 1629 the plague killed over 60% of the population, and from 1525 into the 17th century Anabaptists held out here, at times living in what is now the Täuferhöhle memorial site. Around 1810, Bäretswil already had 3,549 inhabitants, a figure that was only reached again at the end of the 20th century. In 1771, almost 500 people lived in Wappenswil, many of them in the typical Flarz houses (terraced weavers' cottages) of the textile cottage industry. In older houses like these, we check stairs and passageways particularly closely.
Where two routes cross
In the village, the main road from Wetzikon via Bäretswil to Bauma, which links the Glatttal and Tösstal, crosses the route along the Allmen chain from Wald via Bäretswil to Hittnau. Since the railway closed in 1969, VZO bus routes 850 and 851 run via Kempten to Wetzikon, with the 850 also continuing to Bauma. The old Hinwil–Bäretswil–Bauma line is now maintained by the Dampfbahn-Verein Zürcher Oberland (steam railway association).
As a removals firm in the Oberland, we also handle a move to Wetzikon, flat moves as a moving company for Bauma or furniture transport to the neighbouring municipalities of Hinwil and Pfäffikon. On request, your moving company in Bäretswil also takes care of disposal and end-of-tenancy cleaning.
Questions about Bäretswil
Do you also move people to isolated farmsteads and hamlets such as Wappenswil, Bettswil or Tisenwaldsberg?
Yes. Besides the village and Adetswil, Bäretswil includes numerous outlying hamlets and over a hundred individual farmsteads. For each of these addresses, we clarify access, vehicle size and carrying route during the free survey.
How do you plan a removal to the higher areas towards the Allmen?
The municipal area ranges from 616 m above sea level up to 1077 m on the Allmen. For addresses at higher altitudes, we check the gradient and width of the access road in advance and choose the right vehicle size.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Bäretswil: from Adetswil to the farmsteads on the Allmen
Bäretswil is spread across the village, Adetswil, around ten outlying hamlets and farmsteads up to the Allmen. For us, this means every address gets its own access plan.
Adetswil
Adetswil has grown from a hamlet into the municipality's second village. For flats in newer buildings, we clarify whether the lift or the building entrance serves as the loading point; in older houses, we also check the width of the stairs.
Neuthal with the factory site
Neuthal is home to the historic factory site that now houses the Museum für Textil- und Industriekultur (museum of textile and industrial culture). For residential addresses in this part of the municipality, we check where the removal van can stop without blocking access to the site.
Hinterburg, Ghöch, Tanne and Fehrenwaldsberg
The hamlets of Hinterburg, Ghöch, Tanne and Fehrenwaldsberg are scattered across the hilly landscape of the Zürcher Oberland. Before the appointment, we clarify whether the access road is adequate for a large removal van or whether two smaller trips make more sense.
Parking reservation
If the removal van in Bäretswil has to stand on public ground, for example on the main road in the village, we apply for the permit from the responsible office in Bäretswil. The authority charges you the fee for this directly.
Disposal
Entsorgungsstelle WerkhofYou can hand in small quantities such as waste paper or green waste yourself at the Entsorgungsstelle Werkhof (municipal depot collection point); according to the municipality, loose waste paper can only be put into the skip there. We dispose of furniture and bulky items from the move properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Office relocations for businesses in Bäretswil
The municipal website contains a business directory and details of the local trade association. We relocate workshops, offices or practices outside business hours, and binders and files as a separate archive move on request.

Frequently asked questions
What Bäretswil residents want to know before moving
Who helps older people in Bäretswil move to a smaller flat?
For a seniors' move, our team takes care of everything from packing to assembly. Beforehand, we discuss which furniture will fit in the new flat, assemble beds and wardrobes and, on request, dispose of whatever is left behind. Relatives do not have to drive to Adetswil or the village themselves and do the heavy lifting.
How do you move from Bäretswil over the Schufelberger Egg to Wald?
With a load designed for climbs and descents: heavy items such as chests of drawers and the washing machine stand at the bottom against the front wall, and upholstered furniture and mirrors are padded and fixed with straps. We choose the vehicle size according to access at both addresses so that nobody has to reload in Wald.
How does a short move from Bäretswil village to Adetswil work?
Usually in a single morning or day: we load in the village, drive the few minutes across and reassemble everything straight away in Adetswil. Because billing is based on actual working time in 15-minute increments, on this short route you mainly pay for carrying and assembly; the minimum duration is three hours.
Where do we load at a farm in Kleinbäretswil or Bettswil if there is no space by the house?
Wherever the van can turn and stand safely, for example in the farmyard or at a nearby passing place. From there, we carry using dollies and lifting straps, and on longer routes with an additional mover. Please keep the area clear of tractors, trailers and woodpiles on moving day.
When is an on-site survey better than a video call for farms on the Ghöch or in Tanne?
As soon as access and turning space are unclear. A video shows rooms and furniture well, but not whether a farm track is steep or has tight bends. During an on-site appointment, we drive the route ourselves and then decide on the vehicle and team size for your farm.
What should be done before moving day on a farm in Bäretswil?
Boxes packed and labelled, wardrobes emptied, lamps and washing machine disconnected, and the access road and farmyard clear of vehicles and equipment. Tell us beforehand which furniture is staying and which is to go; then there is no waiting time on moving day, which would otherwise count as working time.
Why do you plan a move from Bäretswil over to Bauma as a single trip?
Because Bäretswil lies on the saddle between the Glatttal and Tösstal, and the main road links both valleys directly. One team loads, drives over the crest and unloads again in Bauma, with no stop at the warehouse in between. This keeps your household goods in one pair of hands, and you have one contact person for both addresses.
What planning does a piano need for an older house in Wappenswil?
Above all, a check of the stairs, door widths and floor load during the survey. Piano transport costs from CHF 250.–; the instrument is padded, carried safely and secured in the van. If the stairway is too narrow, we clarify beforehand whether another route into the house is possible.
