Moving costs Stäfa
Stäfa on Lake Zurich: the price of a move from the shore to the slope
Between 403 m on the lakeshore and 613 m at the Stäfnertürli, Stäfa has districts with very different access. A flat in Kehlhof or Oetikon calls for different planning from a house in Uelikon or Grundhalden on the slope, which changes the carrying route, vehicle size and therefore the working time. Around 22 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen are added as travel there and back. We send your quote within 24 hours.

Stäfa at a glance
Stäfa in brief: wine village on the upper right shore of the lake
Every move in Stäfa starts with a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Stäfa lies on the upper right shore of Lake Zurich – the so-called Gold Coast – at the south-eastern end of the Pfannenstiel. The municipality has the Stäfa and Uerikon stations on the right-bank Lake Zurich railway line, served by S-Bahn lines S7 and S20.
Whether in the centre or in Kehlhof, Uerikon, Mutzmalen, Oetikon, Grundhalden and Uelikon: we clarify access and space conditions during the survey before every move. Stäfa belongs to the district of Meilen in the canton of Zurich.

Moving in Stäfa: what we pay attention to
Stäfa lies on the Gold Coast of Lake Zurich and spans a considerable difference in altitude: from the lakeshore at around 403 metres up to the Stäfnertürli on the Pfannenstiel at over 600 metres. If you are moving in the Dorf or Kehlhof districts by the lake, you will deal with dense development along Seestrasse; if you live further up towards Grundhalden or Oberhusen, with steeper access via the Pfannenstiel high road. The Stäfa police are responsible for no-parking zones on public land; we take care of the application for you.
Besides Uerikon with its own station, Oetikon and Uelikon are also part of Stäfa, so access conditions vary considerably depending on the district. Major employers such as Sonova and Sensirion generate noticeable business traffic, especially around the two stations of Stäfa and Uerikon at rush hour. In Uerikon itself, which has retained its village character, access to older properties is often narrower than in the larger Dorf district.
For the Private Move we clarify access and the no-parking zone with you in advance; for the Corporate relocation we coordinate the schedule with your business hours. Both with a cost ceiling, with no surprises on moving day.
Getting to know Stäfa
Moving company Stäfa: between vineyards, harbour and Pfannenstiel
No municipality in the canton of Zurich grows more wine than Stäfa. Sunshine, the Föhn wind and Lake Zurich as a heat store make the slopes ideal for it. In 1969 the municipal assembly placed the Kirchbühl, Lattenberg, Sternenhalde and Risi Ürikon vineyards under protection so that they would not be built on. Since then a vineyard trail has led through the vines from Stäfa to Ürikon.
Districts between 403 and 613 metres
The municipality stretches from 403 m on the lakeshore to 613 m at the Stäfnertürli. By the lake lie Oetikon with its harbour, Kehlhof, Uerikon and, by the station, Oberhusen. On the slope follow Uelikon, Grundhalden and Dorf by the Reformed church. Between the lake and the Buechhalden vineyards lies the hamlet of Mutzmalen.
A house in Uelikon therefore calls for different planning from a flat in Kehlhof. As your moving company in Stäfa, we look at every address during a free survey, on site or by WhatsApp video, and determine the vehicle size and carrying route.
Companies based in Stäfa
On 859 hectares lived 14,494 people (as of 2018). Companies such as Sonova Holding, Sensirion and Landi Zürichsee also have their headquarters here. In 1952 Robert Barth began producing Rivella in a former wine shop in Stäfa. For offices and businesses, our approach is:
- We schedule office relocations outside working hours.
- We store furniture that does not yet have a place at the new location.
- On request we dispose of old fittings.
Two stations, six bus lines
The right-bank Lake Zurich railway is regarded as the forerunner of the Zurich S-Bahn: from 1968 the half-hourly timetable was tested here. Today the S7 and S20 stop in Stäfa and Uerikon, and the boats on the Zurich–Rapperswil line call at both piers. The VZO buses connect with Männedorf, Meilen, Oetwil am See and Hombrechtikon. If you commute, you can put your move on a Saturday, with no Saturday surcharge.
In 1794/95 the municipality gave its name to the Stäfnerhandel, a conflict over the disadvantaging of the Zurich countryside compared with the city. Goethe stayed overnight in 1797 at the Gasthaus Alte Krone when visiting his friend Heinrich Meyer; from the Goethebänkli (Goethe's bench) you can see across the lake to the island of Ufenau. Ferdinand Stadler rebuilt the upper part of the church tower in 1837. Around 22 km as the crow flies separate Stäfa from our base in Wallisellen.
Do you need a removals firm for Männedorf, a move to Hombrechtikon or help in Oetwil am See? Your movers in Stäfa plan both addresses in one quote and send it within 24 hours.
Questions about Stäfa
Are Uerikon, Oetikon and Mutzmalen covered too?
Yes. Uerikon, Oetikon, Kehlhof, Oberhusen, Uelikon, Grundhalden, Dorf and the hamlet of Mutzmalen all belong to Stäfa. For every address we clarify the parking spot and vehicle size before the move.
Do you handle office relocations in Stäfa?
Yes. Sonova, Sensirion and Landi Zürichsee, among others, have their headquarters in Stäfa. We plan office relocations outside working hours and, on request, store furniture that does not yet have a place.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Stäfa: from Oetikon harbour up to Uelikon
Between the lakeshore and the Stäfnertürli there are around 210 metres of altitude in Stäfa, with some districts right on the lake and others on the slope. For every move we clarify what the location means for vehicle, parking spot and date.
Kehlhof, Oetikon and Uerikon by the lake
On the Seestrasse lie Kehlhof, Oetikon with its harbour and Uerikon with its own station. Here we choose the parking spot so that traffic on main road 17 keeps flowing, and check the lift and stairwell in apartment buildings.
Uelikon, Grundhalden and Dorf on the slope
Uelikon, Grundhalden and Dorf by the Reformed church are on the hillside. There we determine the gradient, turning space and vehicle size; from Uelikon the Pfannenstiel ridge road also leads to Männedorf and Meilen.
Mutzmalen by the Buechhalden vineyards
The hamlet lies between the lake and the foot of the Buechhalden vineyards. Where houses border the vineyards, we clarify access and carrying route so that furniture reaches the vehicle by a short route.
Parking reservation
For a parking spot on public ground we submit the application to the responsible office in Stäfa. At the end of September the Chilbi (village fair) takes place on the Seeplatz and Rössliplatz and on the Bahnhofstrasse, and we take this period into account when choosing the date.
Disposal
You drop off smaller quantities of recyclables yourself according to the waste calendar of the Gemeinde Stäfa. Furniture, lamps or household goods for which there is no room in your new home we dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about moving in Stäfa
Who moves a grand piano into a house on the Stäfa hillside?
Our team, with piano dollies, ratchet straps and protective blankets; transporting a piano or grand piano starts at CHF 250.–. For hillside houses in Uelikon or Grundhalden we check access, stairs and garden path in advance and use the furniture lift if needed. We set the instrument up in the spot you want.
How are the hours counted for a move in Stäfa?
We bill the actual working time in 15-minute increments, but at least three hours. Insurance, protective material and furniture assembly are included in the guide prices, with VAT added. Whether you move within Stäfa or to Männedorf, an hour on a Saturday costs the same.
What is the most direct route for the removal van from Stäfa to the Zurich Oberland?
Via the minor roads to Oetwil am See or Hombrechtikon, which connect Stäfa with the northern Oberland without a detour via Rapperswil or Meilen. Which route we take depends on the destination address and the size of the van. We clarify the parking spot at your new home with the municipality there, so that both ends are ready at the same time.
How do you move a private wine cellar in the canton's largest wine-growing municipality?
Bottles travel lying down or upright in suitable boxes with dividers, padded and packed tightly so that nothing clinks. Our carpenters dismantle wine racks and reassemble them at the destination before the boxes are unpacked. Tell us about particularly valuable bottles during the survey, and we will plan them separately and well secured in the vehicle.
Where do you handle customs when moving abroad from Stäfa?
On both sides of the border: we declare the export at Swiss customs and complete the import in the destination country, as full customs clearance for you. The basis is an inventory list of your household goods. You deregister with the Gemeinde Stäfa yourself.
When should you book a move on Lake Zurich in Stäfa?
As soon as your moving-out and moving-in dates are set. Then the survey, the application for the parking position and the box delivery can be planned without rush, and we take larger local events into account when choosing the date. For short-notice moves, it is best to enquire directly by phone.
What does a senior move in Stäfa include?
Support from sorting out to unpacking: during the free survey we discuss what will fit in the new flat, pack everything, transport it and reassemble the furniture. We dispose of or store surplus items, and on request we take care of the end-of-tenancy cleaning of the old flat.
What help is there for company archives when a Stäfa business relocates?
Our archive relocation service: we pack folders and files in their existing order, label the boxes by shelf and set them up identically at the new location. That way every file stays easy to find, even if the office and archive move on the same weekend.
What do movers watch out for with a house by the Kirchbühl, Lattenberg or Sternenhalde vineyards?
That the van stays on the public road and does not drive into the protected vineyards. If the last stretch runs along a narrow path or steps, we carry from there and dismantle large furniture in advance. Whether a furniture lift over the balcony or terrace will shorten the carrying route is something we decide during the on-site survey.
