Moving in Menzingen in 8 steps – from Edlibach to the Höhronen
At around 800 metres, with three villages and many individual farms, a move in Menzingen needs planning that takes altitude and scattered settlement into account.
- 01
Survey on the mountain
Whether the village, Edlibach or Finstersee: during the free survey we record your household goods, access and carrying route, and then send you the quote.
- 02
Loading spot on Hauptstrasse
In the village centre, we look for a spot where the van will not hold up traffic and submit the application for it to the municipality.
- 03
Measuring old buildings
In the old houses around the parish church, we measure stairs and doors in advance and plan a furniture lift if the dimensions are too tight.
- 04
Boxes and padding
We deliver boxes and packing material free of charge, and on moving day we carefully pad furniture, stairwells and floors in both homes.
- 05
Farm access on the Höhronen
For individual farms between Finstersee and the Höhronen, we choose a manoeuvrable vehicle and allow enough time for bends and longer carrying routes.
- 06
Across the cantonal border
Whether to Baar, Oberägeri or down to Wädenswil and Horgen: the removal van drives with a secured load straight to the new address.
- 07
Assembly and businesses
Our carpenters assemble the furniture at the destination; we move the workshops and offices of Menzingen SMEs when business is closed.
- 08
Ökihof and handover
You take household recyclables to the Ökihof on Industriestrasse, we load the bulky items; then you hand over the old flat.

Getting to know Menzingen
Moving company Menzingen: removals in the former «municipality on the mountain»
Menzingen used to be known simply as the «municipality on the mountain». The name still fits today: the village lies at 801 m above sea level in the hilly landscape in the north-east of the canton of Zug, considerably higher than Baar or Zug. Anyone moving here needs planning that takes the altitude and the scattered settlement seriously.
Three villages and many individual farms
The municipality consists of Menzingen, Edlibach and Finstersee. The Alemannic settlement pattern with numerous individual farms can still be seen today, and only 8.3 percent of the area is built-up land. A good 60 percent is agricultural land and just under 29 percent forest.
For your removal company, this means:
- For farms outside the villages, we clarify access and vehicle size during the free survey.
- We record how far it is between the house and the stopping point in the quote, which you receive within 24 hours.
- Anything not coming along we handle with our disposal service; anything that temporarily has no space, with furniture storage.
A village with history
The present parish church was built between 1620 and 1637, with a magnificent high altar and a richly carved portal. The town hall of 1611 still stands today as the Wirtschaft zum Rössli inn at Hauptstrasse 5. Above Finstersee, on the Höhronen, lignite was mined from 1835 onwards. A special feature is the Meisterschaft Menzingen, founded in 1821, which apart from the guilds of the city of Zug is the only craftsmen's brotherhood in the canton. Menzingen is also home to the Institute of the Menzingen Sisters, founded in 1844, and the General House of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X.
In the village centre around the church and Hauptstrasse, we look closely at where the removal van can stop and organise a parking reservation or a furniture lift if needed.
Country living, neighbours in two cantons
4,540 people lived in Menzingen at the end of 2018. Since 1749 the population has more than tripled. Until 1848 Neuheim also belonged to it, before the area was separated as a municipality in its own right. Whether you are moving within the municipality or arriving from elsewhere, our removals team will take care of furniture assembly and final cleaning of the old flat on request. Our base in Wallisellen is around 26 km away as the crow flies.
The neighbourhood extends across the cantonal border: Neuheim to the north, Horgen and Wädenswil in the canton of Zurich, Oberägeri and Unterägeri to the south and Baar to the west. For moves in these directions, we are ready as the removal company for Neuheim, for a move to Oberägeri, as a moving company in Baar or to Wädenswil. With your moving company in Menzingen, a Saturday appointment is also possible at no surcharge.
Questions about Menzingen
Do you also carry out removals to Edlibach and Finstersee?
Yes. Alongside the village of Menzingen, Edlibach and Finstersee belong to the municipality, plus numerous individual farms. For addresses outside the village centres, we clarify access and carrying route during the survey.
How do you plan a move at around 800 m above sea level?
Menzingen lies at 801 m above sea level in hilly terrain. During the survey, we determine the right vehicle size and stopping point so that moving day runs without surprises.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Menzingen: village, Edlibach, Finstersee and individual farms
On the Zuger Berg, Menzingen is spread over three villages and many scattered farms. Whether it is a flat in the village or a remote farmhouse, we plan the access separately for every address.
Menzingen village on Hauptstrasse
Around the parish church and Hauptstrasse, older buildings stand close together. We designate a loading spot where the vehicle does not block through traffic and check narrow stairs in the old buildings against furniture dimensions in advance.
Edlibach
The municipality's second village lies away from the main village. For detached houses, we clarify whether the access road reaches the door and where the vehicle can stand during loading without obstructing neighbours.
Finstersee and the farms on the Höhronen
Above Finstersee, the terrain rises towards the Höhronen, with many individual farms in between. For such addresses, we choose a vehicle size that can cope with narrow farm drives and bends, and allow enough time for the carrying route.
Parking reservation
If space on public land is needed for the removal vehicle, we apply for the parking reservation with the responsible office in Menzingen. The authority charges the fee for this directly to you.
Disposal
Ökihof Menzingen, Industriestrasse 11For recyclables in household quantities, the Ökihof Menzingen (recycling centre) at the municipal works yard, Industriestrasse 11, is open to you. We take complete room furnishings or bulky items from the attic with us and dispose of them properly at CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Business relocations for SMEs in Menzingen
Menzingen is not an industrial location, but it is home to numerous SMEs, organised in the Gewerbeverein Neuheim Menzingen (local trade association). We relocate workshops and offices outside business hours, and files as an archive move on request.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions from Menzingen, Edlibach and Finstersee
Who can safely move a piano into a new flat in Menzingen?
We can; piano transport costs from CHF 250.–. How many porters and what equipment are needed depends on the instrument, the floor and the route to the house. So mention the piano during the survey, so that we can build it firmly into the schedule for moving day.
How does moving day on the Zuger Berg in Menzingen work when there is snow?
Usually as planned, just with more caution: Menzingen lies noticeably higher than Baar and Zug, so snow is more likely there in winter. We lay extra floor protection in both homes and wrap furniture against moisture. Please make sure the house entrance, yard and outside steps are cleared and gritted.
How do you move from Menzingen across the cantonal border to Horgen or Wädenswil?
Like a move within the region, but with two cantons in mind: Horgen and Wädenswil are in the canton of Zurich and border directly on Menzingen. For the stopping point at the destination, we submit the application to the Zurich municipality. Because the route goes down the mountain towards Lake Zurich, we secure the load particularly carefully.
Where can the van park at a farm in Greit or Steigholz above Finstersee?
As close as the farm drive and turning space allow, and we determine this in advance: Greit and Steigholz lie on the slope of the Höhronen, away from the village roads. If the track is too narrow for the large van, we make several trips with a smaller vehicle. Inside the house, we cover floors and stairs before the first piece of furniture goes out.
Where do the boxes end up in my new home in Menzingen?
Exactly where you want them, if boxes and rooms are labelled the same way. Stick a note with the room name on every door in the new house and write it on the boxes as well. The team then puts everything straight into the right room, and you save yourself the rearranging.
What should be done by the evening before the move in Menzingen?
All boxes are packed, labelled and taped shut, and wardrobes are empty. Pack a bag with documents, chargers, medication and clothes for the next day. Keep tools, cleaning supplies, drinks and something to eat close at hand so that moving day can start without any searching.
What changes when you move from Baar or Zug up to Menzingen?
Mainly the distance and access: from the valley, the route climbs to the «municipality on the mountain», and many addresses lie outside the village. During the survey, we check not only the old flat but also the access, stopping point and carrying route at the new house, so that the vehicle and team size are right for both ends.
Why should I label the screws when dismantling furniture in Menzingen?
Because it speeds up reassembly considerably. If you dismantle a shelf or bed yourself, put the screws and fittings in a labelled bag and tape it to the piece of furniture. Our carpenters then find everything immediately at the new place, and no missing small part holds up the assembly.
