Moving costs Fehraltorf
Moving in Fehraltorf: costs in the flat Kempttal
Fehraltorf is around 13 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies; we count this journey as actual working time. The terrain works in your favour: between the Kempt at 514 m above sea level and the Reitenbachholz there are less than 100 metres of altitude, so steep approaches are rare. The price is therefore determined mainly by volume, floor level and carrying distance. The calculator above shows how much difference that makes.

Getting to know Fehraltorf
Moving company Fehraltorf: flat, well connected and fast-growing
At the roundabout on Kempttalstrasse, a horse statue stands in front of a stylised drumlin. It recalls what shapes Fehraltorf: farming, equestrian sport and a landscape moulded by the Ice Age. This linear village lies in the Kempttal north-west of Pfäffikon, on flat ground dotted with hills. From our base in Wallisellen it is around 13 km as the crow flies.
Little difference in height, plenty of space
Between the lowest point on the Kempt at 514 m above sea level and the highest in the Reitenbachholz at 610 m, there are less than 100 metres. A good half of the area is farmland, and 14.6% is built-up (as of 2018). For a move, that is a pleasant starting point: steep climbs on the way to the house are hardly an issue here.
Even so, as your moving company in Fehraltorf we look at every address, free of charge and, as you prefer, in person or via WhatsApp video. That way, parking, carrying distance and vehicle size are settled before moving day.
A place people have moved to since the 1960s
With the building boom from the 1960s onwards, Fehraltorf grew closely together with the Greater Zurich area. This is clearly visible in the schools: in 1960 the municipality had 157 pupils, and in 2021 there were 793. Today 6,434 people live in Fehraltorf (as of 2018).
The traces the village has left behind are older than the building boom:
- 57 graves from the Merovingian period, uncovered in 2015
- ramparts and ditches of the early Rüti castle in the Burgwies
- the G. H. Fischer chemical match and grease factory, which once had home workers make sulphur matches
- in 1798 Fehraltorf even became the capital of its own district
Whether you are moving into an older house in the village centre or a flat built in recent decades: on request we take care of furniture assembly, final cleaning and disposal, and we also move on Saturdays at no surcharge.
Railway and road junction
Fehraltorf has had a station on the Effretikon–Hinwil line since 3 May 1876. Today the S3 stops there, plus the S19 at peak times, which also stops in Wallisellen. In the village, main road 345, with a connection to the A1 at Effretikon, crosses main road 354, which leads west towards Volketswil, Uster and the A15. There is also the Speck-Fehraltorf airfield.
The name, by the way, dates from the Middle Ages: «fehr» means far and served to distinguish the village from Mönchaltorf. Whether you need movers for Pfäffikon, a move to Illnau-Effretikon along the Kempt or help in Lindau in the same district, your removals team for Fehraltorf is there for you too. Your quote for Fehraltorf arrives within 24 hours.
Questions about Fehraltorf
How much effort is a move in flat Fehraltorf?
Fehraltorf lies on flat ground, and the difference in altitude within the municipality is less than 100 metres. We still clarify parking and carrying distance for every address during the survey, so that moving day runs to plan.
Do you handle moves from Fehraltorf to Pfäffikon or Illnau-Effretikon?
Yes. Fehraltorf lies north-west of Pfäffikon, and the Kempt flows on to Illnau-Effretikon. We combine moving out and moving in into a single job.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Fehraltorf: a linear village in the Kempttal among drumlins
Fehraltorf is a linear village in flat countryside, at the junction of main roads 345 and 354. Gradients hardly matter; what matters more is parking on the main road and the route to the front door.
Village centre on Kempttalstrasse
The village lines up along the main road. On Kempttalstrasse we do not simply pull over at the side; we arrange a spot in advance that does not obstruct through traffic and apply for a reservation if needed.
Residential areas since the building boom
From the 1960s Fehraltorf grew closely together with the Greater Zurich area, and the number of schoolchildren has increased fivefold since then. In the newer neighbourhoods we record lift dimensions, floor level and parking space, and allow enough boxes for family households.
Houses by the drumlins
Individual drumlins, hills shaped by the Ice Age, rise between the flat fields. If your house is on one of these hills, we check access and carrying distance more closely; on the plain, the question of parking comes first.
Parking reservation
If the removal lorry needs public ground on a main or residential road, we submit the application to the responsible office in Fehraltorf. You do not need to apply for anything yourself; the fee is charged by the authority.
Disposal
Anything that is not coming with you from Fehraltorf we dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³. Small quantities of glass, cardboard or batteries can be taken to the collection point of the municipality of Fehraltorf.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Fehraltorf, answered briefly
Who finds a parking spot if my house is near the roundabout on Kempttalstrasse?
We do. The removal lorry cannot stand right at the roundabout, so during the survey we look for the nearest suitable spot, for example in the turn-off towards Russikon or in a courtyard. If public ground is needed for this, we submit the application to the responsible office in Fehraltorf.
How does a move from Fehraltorf to the hilly Tösstal work?
We plan from the more demanding address: in the flat Kempttal loading is easy, while at the destination in the Tösstal gradients and tight bends may determine the vehicle size. We therefore survey both places, choose the lorry for the narrower access and drive north-east via main road 354.
Where are my belongings kept if the new build in Fehraltorf is finished later?
In our dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected warehouse. We load everything on moving-out day, store it and deliver it as soon as the new flat is ready to move into. Our carpenters then assemble the furniture directly on site. That way you do not have to find a temporary solution with relatives or in the garage.
What do movers look out for if the entrance on a drumlin is reached by outdoor steps?
Safe carrying routes in all weathers. We cover outdoor steps and garden paths on the hill with non-slip protective material, and heavy pieces are carried by two or three people together. Upholstered furniture and mattresses go into covers so that they stay dry in the wet. If the path is too steep, we consider using a furniture lift.
When should I mention a piano for my move to Fehraltorf?
Right when you enquire, because a piano needs dedicated staff and equipment. Our piano transport starts at CHF 250.–. During the survey we look at stairs, doors and the route to the vehicle, so that enough carriers are planned and the instrument arrives safely, padded and strapped down.
What happens to the barn and attic if I give up a farm near Fehraltorf?
On request we clear everything that is not coming with you at the same time: old furniture, equipment and bulky items from barn, attic and cellar are taken away for proper disposal. In Fehraltorf, where a good half of the area is farmland, this is worthwhile because clearance and move then run as one job.
Which measurements should I take before moving to a house in the Kempttal?
Measure your sofa, wardrobe, bed and large shelving units, plus door widths and alcoves in your new home. That way you can see early on whether everything fits or whether an item should be dismantled, stored or disposed of. If needed, our carpenters dismantle large furniture and reassemble it at the destination.
