From the Seez plain up the mountain: Flums in 9 steps
Valley floor, mountain communities and industrial companies: in Flums, a move needs a little more planning. These nine stages take you safely to your new home in the Sarganserland.
- 01
Contact and survey
Whether it is a flat on the valley floor or a house on the mountain: we look at the rooms and access, on site or by video, and send the quote within 24 hours.
- 02
Journey to the Sarganserland
The route from Wallisellen via the A3 counts as working time. That is why we coordinate departure and loading order so that there is no idle time on moving day.
- 03
Stopping point in Flums-Dorf
For flats in the village, we apply to the municipality for the space for the van; the authority then bills the permit fee directly to you.
- 04
Boxes delivered to your home
We deliver moving boxes and padding material to Flums free of charge so that you can pack your kitchen, books and clothes without time pressure.
- 05
Small vehicle uphill
For houses on the Grossberg or Kleinberg, we use a manoeuvrable vehicle that safely handles the steep roads, and factor the mountain drive in from the start.
- 06
Protection before carrying
Before the first piece of furniture is lifted, we pad the stairwell and lift and cover floors, in an apartment building just as in an old farmhouse.
- 07
Workshop and office
For industrial and trade businesses, we move offices, workshop furniture and files outside working hours so that production and customers do not have to wait.
- 08Optional
Dispose instead of taking along
Anything not coming along we dispose of properly. Alternatively, you can drop off individual heavy items yourself for a fee at the Entsorgungs-Recycling Center Lochriet.
- 09
Handover in the Seez valley
Our carpenters assemble the furniture at the new place. You then hand over the old flat, cleaned by us with a handover guarantee if you wish.
Moving to Flums
Registering your new address in Flums
You normally register with your new municipality within 14 days. The eUmzug online service is often available for this.
Allow at least 4 working days before the move for the mail forwarding order. Nothing needs to be done for Serafe (radio/TV licence fee): the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) transmits the change automatically.
New in Flums
Settling in Flums: Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) and municipality
The municipal tax rate in Flums is 125 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Mels 125 %, Walenstadt 110 %, Wartau 145 % and St. Gallen 138 %. Flums is therefore lower than St. Gallen.
Parking on moving day
If the removal van has to stand on public land in Flums-Dorf, we take care of reserving the space with the responsible office in Flums free of charge. The authority sends any fees directly to you.
Disposal and bulky waste
Furniture that is not coming along we load during the move and charge CHF 65.– per m³, labour separately. The Entsorgungs-Recycling Center Lochriet also accepts individual heavy items for a fee.
Moving costs Flums
Removals in Flums: what costs depend on between village and mountain
It is around 67 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen to Flums, and because the outward and return journey count towards the working time charged, this distance is part of every invoice. After that, the location makes the biggest difference: a flat in the village on the Seez valley floor needs different planning from a house on the Grossberg or Kleinberg with a gradient and a longer carrying route. The calculator above shows a guide price; the free survey gives you more precise figures.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Flums → Walenstadt, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 880.–Flums → Mels, approx. 7 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'030.–Flums → Sargans, approx. 9 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'560.–Flums → Wartau, approx. 11 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'880.–Flums → Sevelen, approx. 11 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'090.–Flums → Vilters-Wangs, approx. 12 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.

Flums at a glance
Flums in brief: three local communities from the Seez valley to the Schilstal
For us, Flums is not just a dot on the map but a real place of work with its own routes, access roads and neighbourhoods. Flums covers the Schils valley up to the border with the canton of Glarus, part of the plain through which the Seez flows (Seez valley) and the western slope of the Alvier range. The station on the Ziegelbrücke–Chur line is served by the S4 and the RegioExpress Zurich–Chur, and there is a connection to the A3 motorway; a bus line runs to the resort of Flumserberg.
As a moving company for Flums, we also handle moves in Flums-Dorf, Flums-Grossberg and Flums-Kleinberg – with the same planning and the same guide prices. As a moving company, we also plan moves from Flums to a neighbouring municipality such as Mels, Quarten, Walenstadt and Wartau from a single source. Flums belongs to the Sarganserland constituency in the canton of St. Gallen.

Getting to know Flums
Moving company Flums: from the Seez valley floor up the mountain
Flums is a municipality with three faces. It consists of the Ortsgemeinden (local civic communities) Flums-Dorf, Flums-Grossberg and Flums-Kleinberg, which emerged in 1819 from a dispute over the common land and received their current status in 1832. To this day they own 74% of the land in the municipality. The municipal territory includes part of the plain in the Seez valley, the Schilstal up to the border with the canton of Glarus and the western slope of the Alvier range.
For a moving company in Flums, this means a flat in the village and a house on the mountain are two different jobs.
Village, Grossberg and Kleinberg
Main roads lead up into the mountains and connect with the Walenseestrasse; above Flums, on the Kleinberg side, lies the Maltinawald forest, for example. A bus line links the Sargans rail hub via Flums with the holiday resort of Flumserberg. During the free survey, on site or via WhatsApp video, we distinguish between:
- Addresses in the village: stopping point and carrying route, parking reservation if needed
- Locations on the Grossberg or Kleinberg: access, gradient and suitable vehicle size
- Apartment buildings with several floors: checking whether to use a furniture lift
Industry with a long history
From 1400 to 1700, ore from the Gonzen was smelted in Flums. With the railway connection of 1859 and the water power of the Schils, industrialisation began: in 1866 the Spoerry brothers founded a cotton spinning mill. Since 1969 Flumroc AG has produced stone wool insulation, and the group also includes Flumec AG and Pamag AG in Flums. Agriculture, trade and tourism are other important sources of income. For businesses, we plan the office relocation outside working hours.
Castle ruin, churches and neighbours
The ruin of Gräpplang Castle, first mentioned in 1249, has belonged to the municipality since 1923. The Romanesque St. Jakobskapelle once housed the oldest Romanesque stained-glass painting in Switzerland, dating from around 1180, and beneath the former parish church of St. Justus lie the remains of an early Carolingian church complex. The municipality has 5,074 inhabitants (as of 2022), 4,299 of them in the village of Flums. It is around 67 km as the crow flies to our base in Wallisellen.
The station, a little outside the village, is served by the S4 of the St. Gallen S-Bahn and the InterRegio 35, and there is also a connection to the A3. The former Flums villages of Berschis and Tscherlach became part of Walenstadt in 1803. In the Sarganserland, we also organise a move to Walenstadt, act as the removal company for Mels or help as a moving company for Wartau. As your movers in Flums, we also work on Saturdays on request, at no Saturday surcharge, and take care of furniture assembly, final cleaning and disposal.
Questions about Flums
Do you also carry out removals to the Grossberg and Kleinberg in Flums?
Yes. Alongside Flums-Dorf, Flums-Grossberg and Flums-Kleinberg are the two other Ortsgemeinden. For addresses there, we clarify access, carrying route and vehicle size during the survey.
Do you handle business relocations in Flums?
Yes. In addition to industrial companies such as Flumroc AG, Flums has trade and tourism businesses. We plan business relocations so that they take place outside your working hours, with disposal and furniture storage on request.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Flums: Seez valley plain, mountain roads and Lochriet
Flums combines a flat village area on the Seez valley plain with districts high above the valley. Around 67 km from Wallisellen, we therefore plan the journey, vehicle and stopping point precisely when preparing the quote.
Flums-Dorf on the Seez valley plain
The village lies on the plain through which the Seez flows, with the station a little outside and the A3 nearby. For flats here, gradients matter less than a free stopping point close to the entrance.
Grossberg and Kleinberg
Main roads lead up from the valley plain into the two mountain communities. Depending on the location and access, we use a smaller vehicle and allow in the quote for the extra time the drive up from the valley takes.
Parking reservation
If the removal van has to stand on public land in the village, we organise the parking reservation with the responsible office in Flums. The fee for the reserved space is billed to you by the authority itself, not by us.
Disposal
Entsorgungs-Recycling Center LochrietIn Flums, items over 25 kg are accepted for a fee by the Entsorgungs-Recycling Center Lochriet (waste and recycling centre) at Lochrietstrasse 17, and aluminium and drinks cans by the Altstoffsammelstelle Kirchbünte (recycling point). Furniture that has to go during the move we dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B

Frequently asked questions
Flums: answers to common moving questions
Who is responsible for the parking space at Flumserberg, Flums or Quarten?
That depends on the exact address, because the Flumserberg ski and hiking area lies partly in Flums and partly in Quarten. We use your address to check which municipality is responsible and submit the application for the van's space there. You receive the fee directly from the authority.
Who dismantles and sets up computers and workstations during an office move in Flums?
Our team takes care of this as part of the IT relocation. We pack computers, screens and printers with padding and labels, transport them insured and set the workstations up again at the new location, outside your working hours. Our own carpenters assemble the office furniture.
How do you secure household goods on the winding road up to Flumserberg?
Every piece of furniture is padded and fixed in the van with ratchet straps, with heavy items at the bottom and front. Fragile items travel in padded boxes, mirrors and pictures upright. That way nothing shifts on gradients and hairpin bends, and the transport is also insured.
What should I bear in mind when moving from Flums to Berschis or Tscherlach?
That although the two villages are close to Flums, they have belonged to Walenstadt since 1803. You therefore have to register in Walenstadt, and we also apply for the stopping point there. For us, the move is a short drive that can easily be combined with furniture assembly and final cleaning on the same day.
Where does my furniture go if the new house in Flums is not finished yet?
Into our furniture warehouse, which is dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected. We collect your household goods from your old address and bring them to Flums as soon as you can move in. This is practical for new builds or renovations whose completion is delayed.
When is a cost ceiling worthwhile for a move from Zurich to Flums?
Whenever you want to plan your budget with certainty. On the longer route to the Sarganserland, traffic and mountain access can affect the time needed; with a cost ceiling, the maximum amount is fixed in advance. We set it in writing in the quote after the free survey, or a flat rate as an alternative.
How much does it cost to move a piano to a house on the Kleinberg in Flums?
Piano transport with us starts from CHF 250.–; the final amount depends on the instrument, the steps and the access to the house. For steep or narrow access roads, we plan a suitable vehicle and enough people. We give you the exact amount after the survey.
What happens to the old fridge or freezer when moving out in Flums?
On request, we take it with us straight away and dispose of it properly, together with other furniture that is not coming along. According to the municipality, there is a charge for disposing of fridges and freezers in Flums, and otherwise you would have to drop off the appliance yourself. Please defrost it before moving day.
What support is there for senior citizens moving within Flums?
On request, we pack the entire household, dismantle furniture and reassemble it in the new, smaller flat, and take away whatever no longer fits. We also take care of the final cleaning with a handover guarantee to take the pressure off relatives.
