Moving Company Langnau am Albis – Removals for Private Clients and Businesses

The Sihl to the east, the Albis ridge to the west, and in between a municipal area that is mostly steep and largely made up of forest and meadows. The Albis pass also belongs to Langnau. The municipality had 7,543 inhabitants (as of 2018). As your moving company in Langnau am Albis, we travel around 14 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen.

Hillside locations as the norm

Because the terrain is mostly steep, every move here starts with a close look at the route to the front door. The Reformed church of 1711 stands on a rise in the Oberdorf (upper village), the Catholic church of St. Marien on the Berhaldenweg above the station. During the free site visit, on site or via WhatsApp video, we clarify:

• how steep the access is and which vehicle size fits
• where the removal truck can stop safely and whether a parking space reservation is needed
• whether stairs, hillside paths or upper floors call for a furniture lift

Old houses, old paths

Langnau is first mentioned in records in 1397; in the late Middle Ages the village had around 150 inhabitants, and by 1677 the Wacht (local community) already had 613 people in 64 households. The "Schloss", a characteristic residential tower, dates from the 13th century; on the Albis ridge, the ruins of the Schnabelburg, destroyed in 1309, recall the same era. From the 18th century, the renovated winegrower's house "Hotze-Hus" and the house "Zur Trülle" survive, and the "Russenbrunnen" fountain from the Helvetic Republic stands on Albisstrasse. In older buildings, we check stairwells and passageways particularly carefully.

A place to live with a station and wildlife park

Langnau has hardly any commercial zones. Most working people work down the Sihl valley in Adliswil or in Zurich, and the local economy consists of SMEs. A spinning mill operated on the banks of the Sihl from 1829 to 1983. For smaller businesses we handle office relocations outside business hours, and private households can also move with us on Saturdays, with no Saturday surcharge.

Langnau-Gattikon station has three tracks and is often the terminus for trains from Zurich. Wildpark-Höfli station serves the Langenberg wildlife park with 15 mostly native species, including bears and wolves. The 30-metre Hochwacht tower also stands on the Albis. Extensive forest areas of the municipality lie in the Sihlwald.

In 2026, the total tax rate excluding church tax in Langnau is 106%, compared with 119% in Zurich. Your movers in Langnau am Albis also organise moves in the Sihl valley and to the lake, for example a move to Adliswil, as your removal company for Thalwil or furniture transport to Horgen. On request we take care of end-of-tenancy cleaning and disposal at the same time.

Questions about Langnau am Albis

How do you plan a move on the steep slopes of Langnau?
The municipal area between the Sihl and the Albis ridge is mostly steep. For hillside addresses, we check gradient, access and carrying route during the free site visit and then choose the right vehicle size.

Do you also move to the area around Langnau-Gattikon station and Wildpark-Höfli?
Yes. The two Sihltal railway stations Langnau-Gattikon and Wildpark-Höfli are in the municipality. We fix the stopping point and carrying route individually for each address and organise the parking space reservation if needed.
