Moving in Wädenswil in 9 steps – from the lakeshore to the Höhronen
Between Lake Zurich, the Zimmerberg and the villages of Schönenberg and Hütten, routes and access vary greatly. That is why we break your move in Wädenswil down into nine steps.
- 01
Name your district, get a quote
Town centre, Au, Wädenswiler Berg, Schönenberg or Hütten? We check access free of charge and send you the quote within 24 hours.
- 02
Parking space by the lake and on the Berg
We apply for the space for the removal van at the office responsible for Wädenswil. You receive its fee directly from the authority.
- 03
A vehicle for the farms
For farms such as Unterfelsen or Eichmüli we choose a van that can manage the narrow access, and in the dense centre more likely the larger option.
- 04
Old buildings in the town centre
In the restored houses between the lake and the Oberdorfstrasse we pad stairs, banisters and door frames before the first piece of furniture is moved.
- 05Optional
Furniture lift for narrow stairs
If a sofa will not go round the corner, the furniture lift raises it over the balcony or through the window straight into the flat.
- 06
Across the cantonal border
To Menzingen, Oberägeri or Wollerau the route goes over the Hirzel or via the A3; both addresses are part of the same plan.
- 07Optional
Shops around the station
We move shops and offices in the centre after closing time or at the weekend, so that business does not come to a standstill.
- 08
Setting up with carpenters
At the new address our carpenters put beds and wardrobes back together, and each piece of furniture goes into the room you have chosen.
- 09
Completion and disposal
We take bulky waste for proper disposal; the town's utility department knows where small quantities go. Billing is according to the quote.
Moving to Wädenswil
Registering in Wädenswil: deadline and eUmzug
After moving to or within the canton of Zurich, you have 14 days to register at your new place of residence; many Zurich municipalities offer eUmzug (online change of address) for this.
To make sure no letters go astray, submit the forwarding order to Swiss Post at least 4 working days before moving day. Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) receives your new address automatically from the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).
New in Wädenswil
New in Wädenswil: Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate), districts and disposal
For 2026, the total tax rate excluding church tax in Wädenswil is 102 %. For comparison in 2026: Horgen 90 %, Richterswil 99 % and Zurich 119 %. Wädenswil is therefore lower than Zurich.
Parking on moving day
Whether in the town centre below the Oberdorfstrasse or on a hillside on the Wädenswiler Berg: we make sure the removal van stands close to the house. We submit the reservation application free of charge to the responsible office in Wädenswil, and the authority sends you the invoice for the fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
We load bulky waste and old furniture on moving day; we charge CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. The waste collection calendar for small quantities is kept by the utility department of the town of Wädenswil.
Moving costs Wädenswil
Wädenswil from the lake to Hütten: the cost of your move
From Wallisellen it is around 21 km as the crow flies to Wädenswil, and with us travel to and from the job counts as working time. Since 2019 the town has stretched from Lake Zurich across the Zimmerberg to Schönenberg and Hütten, so the effort varies accordingly: in the centre between the lake and the Oberdorfstrasse, parking space and furniture lift are what count, while for farms and hamlets such as Unterfelsen or Eichmüli it is access. We bill by actual working time, and the quote follows within 24 hours.

| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Wädenswil → Männedorf, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |

Wädenswil at a glance
Wädenswil at a glance: Lake Zurich, Zimmerberg and Höhronen
Every move in Wädenswil starts with us taking a look at local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Wädenswil lies on the upper left shore of Lake Zurich. Wädenswil is on the Zurich–Chur railway line (S2, S8, S13, S25) and is served by the A3 Zurich–Chur motorway and the Hirzel Pass road towards Sihlbrugg; the town borders the cantons of Zug and Schwyz.
Besides Wädenswil itself, we also work in the neighbouring municipalities of Horgen, Richterswil, Menzingen, Oberägeri and Feusisberg. Wädenswil belongs to the district of Horgen in the canton of Zurich.

Getting to know Wädenswil
Moving company Wädenswil – a town from the lakeshore to the Pre-Alps
Since 1 January 2019 Schönenberg and Hütten have been part of Wädenswil. At 35.64 km², «Wädi» has since been the third-largest municipality by area in the canton of Zurich. Its territory stretches from Lake Zurich across the Zimmerberg and beyond the Sihl to the Höhronen ridge at 1,229 m above sea level. It is around 21 km as the crow flies to Wallisellen.
Five districts, each with its own character
A moving company in Wädenswil has to be ready for very different addresses. The town is divided into five districts:
- Wädenswil from the lake to just below the motorway, with the station, churches and town administration at its heart
- Wädenswiler Berg between the motorway and the former border with Schönenberg
- Au with its Ober-, Mittel- and Unterort, around the Au peninsula
- Schönenberg, a separate municipality until 2018
- Hütten, also part of the town since 2019
Almost 61% of the land is agricultural and only just under 15% built-up (as of 2018). Outside the dense centre lie farms and hamlets such as Unterfelsen, Eichmüli or Neuguet. There we first clarify access during the free survey; in the centre it is more about the parking space.
The area has been settled for over 5,000 years: Neolithic finds come from the Au peninsula, with others from the Bronze Age and Roman times. In the 13th century the barons of Wädenswil built their castle, Alt-Wädenswil.
In the town centre between the lake and the Oberdorfstrasse
The old centre extends from the shore to roughly the Oberdorfstrasse, which was built around 1900 and at that time marked the village's uphill boundary. Here you will find restored old buildings with gardens, the town administration and numerous shops. Wädenswil has had its own bus service since 1953. For a move in this area we arrange the parking reservation and check whether a furniture lift can take the strain off the stairwell.
The Wädenswil district also includes neighbourhoods such as Eichhof, Rothus, Neudorf and Untermosen. There too, we set the carrying route and vehicle size individually for each address.
Six neighbours in three cantons
On the Höhronen, Zurich, Zug and Schwyz meet at a three-canton point. The neighbours are correspondingly varied: Horgen and Richterswil in the canton of Zurich, Menzingen and Oberägeri in the canton of Zug, Feusisberg and Wollerau in the canton of Schwyz. From here, a move across the cantonal border is not a long way.
Whether you need movers for Horgen, a move to Richterswil or help in Menzingen and Oberägeri, we plan both addresses in one quote. Your removals team in Wädenswil replies within 24 hours, and on request we move on Saturdays too.
Questions about Wädenswil
Do you also move to Schönenberg and Hütten?
Yes. Schönenberg and Hütten have been districts of the town of Wädenswil since 1 January 2019 and are part of our service area. Because the area extends up to the Höhronen, we check access and vehicle size particularly carefully during the survey.
Is a move from Wädenswil to the cantons of Zug or Schwyz possible?
Yes. Wädenswil borders Menzingen and Oberägeri in the canton of Zug as well as Feusisberg and Wollerau in the canton of Schwyz. We plan a move like this like any other, with parking space and carrying route at both addresses.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Wädenswil: town centre, Au and the farms on the Berg
Between the lakeshore and the Höhronen, Wädenswil has densely built neighbourhoods, lakeside villages such as Au and scattered farms. Access, parking space and choice of vehicle vary accordingly, and we clarify them before moving day.
Au with its Ober-, Mittel- and Unterort
The district of Au has its own postcode, 8804, and is divided into Ober-, Mittel- and Unterort with neighbourhoods such as Grundstein, Appital and Moosacher. Tell us the neighbourhood when you enquire, so we can plan the parking space precisely.
Wädenswiler Berg
Above the town centre, the Wädenswiler Berg stretches from just below the A3 motorway to the former border with Schönenberg. For addresses there we clarify which access road the removal van can use to reach the house and how large it may be.
Schönenberg and Hütten
The two villages have been part of the town since 2019 and extend towards the Höhronen and the Hüttnersee. For moves between the lakeshore and these districts, we already factor the longer driving distance into the quote.
Parking reservation
So that the removal van can stand close to the house, we arrange the parking reservation with the responsible office in Wädenswil, in the old centre between the lake and the Oberdorfstrasse just as on the Berg. The authority invoices you for the fee.
Disposal
In Wädenswil, waste and recycling are handled by the town's utility department, which also keeps the waste collection calendar. There you can find out where small quantities go. We take old furniture and bulky waste on moving day and dispose of it properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Business relocations in Wädenswil town centre
The town administration and numerous shops are located in the centre around the station. For shops and offices we plan the relocation outside opening and working hours, and files as an archive relocation on request.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Wädenswil, Au and Schönenberg
Who helps with a senior move from a house in Au to a flat in the centre?
Our team supports you from the planning to the first evening in your new flat. Together we choose which furniture comes along and arrange the rooms so that familiar things find their place. We take surplus items for disposal, and on request we clean the house in Au with a handover guarantee.
How do you move a grand piano out of a flat on the Wädenswiler Berg?
With enough movers, straps and protective blankets. During the survey we check the stairs, door widths and access; if it is tight, we plan in the furniture lift. In the van the instrument is firmly strapped down so that it does not slide on the drive down to the lake. Piano and grand piano transport costs from CHF 250.– with us.
What do you look out for when moving from Wädenswil to Menzingen or Oberägeri?
Above all the change of canton: you deregister in Wädenswil and register in your new municipality in Zug. For the transport it remains a short trip with one team and one quote. We apply for the parking space at the destination with the responsible office there, and we look at both addresses beforehand so that the vehicle and carrying route are right.
When does a winter move to Hütten or Schönenberg beyond the Sihl become tricky?
In frost and ice: on average Wädenswil has around 68 frost days a year, and Hütten and Schönenberg lie considerably higher than the lake. We therefore set a backup date, check access shortly beforehand and allow more time for icy carrying routes. A Saturday as a backup day costs nothing extra with us.
What does it cost if a move between the lakeshore and Hütten takes longer than planned?
We bill the actual working time in 15-minute increments, with a minimum of three hours. If moving day takes longer because of narrow access, the amount rises accordingly. If you want to rule this out, agree a cost ceiling or a flat rate after the free survey, which then applies to the agreed services.
Which items should I carry myself on moving day in Wädenswil?
Everything you need to hand on the way: keys, ID documents, important papers, medication, jewellery and chargers. Also pack a clearly labelled box with the essentials for the first evening. We load the rest of your household goods securely and insured in the removal van.
