Moving on the Zug Riviera in 6 steps – your move in Walchwil
Steep slopes above Lake Zug and the through road in the village shape every move in Walchwil. This is how we go about it, step by step.
- 01
Survey on the slope
We look at rooms, access and carrying route free of charge, in person or by video call, and then prepare the quote for your move.
- 02
Space on the H25
If your address is on the main road, we apply for the stopping place with the municipality early and load quickly so that traffic keeps flowing.
- 03
Materials and packing
Free boxes and packing materials come to you in advance; on moving day we pad fragile items so that they cope well with steep routes.
- 04
Access to the upper areas
For houses towards the Hagegg we choose the vehicle size according to the access and, where it makes sense, use the Oberdorfstrasse as the northern approach.
- 05Optional
Bulky items by furniture lift
Where stairs on the slope are too narrow, we lift bulky items into the house with a furniture lift, and our carpenters then assemble them.
- 06
Cleaning and completion
Optionally we clean the old flat with handover guarantee; after unpacking we collect the boxes, and you pay as quoted.

Moving costs Walchwil
Moving on Lake Zug: the cost of a move in Walchwil
The roughly 35 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen are reflected in the working time through the journey there and back. More than distance, however, it is the terrain that shapes the effort: the municipal area rises from the lake level at 413 m above sea level to the Hagegg at 1204 m above sea level. Access, the gradient of the carrying route and any furniture lift for a balcony or terrace all play a part. A cost ceiling is possible on request.

Walchwil at a glance
The Zug Riviera: Walchwil between the Zugerberg and the Rossberg
Every move in Walchwil starts with us taking a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Walchwil lies on the eastern shore of Lake Zug on the southern slope of the Zugerberg. It sits on a hillside between the Zugerberg and the Rossberg; Walchwil station is served hourly by the S2 line of the Stadtbahn Zug.
Besides Walchwil itself, we also work in the neighbouring municipalities of Zug, Unterägeri and Arth.

Getting to know Walchwil
Moving company Walchwil: from the lakeshore up the hillside
Walchwil is so sheltered between the Zugerberg and the Rossberg that it is often called the «Zug Riviera» or the «Nice of Zug». Sweet chestnuts, figs, kiwis and grapes thrive here, as well as many cherry trees for Zuger Kirsch. For a move, though, one thing matters above all: the municipal area stretches from the lake level at 413 m above sea level up to the Hagegg at 1204 m above sea level.
Two main roads through the village
The village is essentially laid out along the Vorderbergstrasse on the north side and the Hinterbergstrasse on the south side, with the Forchwaldstrasse running in between. Since 15 October 2018 the new Oberdorfstrasse has served as the northern access road and is intended to relieve the village centre. Exactly where an address lies determines how we plan moving day.
As a moving company in Walchwil, we go through these points during the free survey, on site or by WhatsApp video:
- Which vehicle size suits the access and the road on the slope?
- Where does the removal van stop, and how long and steep is the carrying route?
- Is a furniture lift worthwhile for the balcony or terrace?
- Is a parking reservation needed in the village centre?
Well connected on the lakeshore
Walchwil station is served every half hour by the S2 of the Stadtbahn Zug, and since 2010 so is the Walchwil Hörndli stop on the Hörndlirain. Bus route 605 connects Walchwil with the town of Zug, and on weekdays a local bus also runs. By road, main road H25 passes through the village, and the A4 motorway junction at Arth-Goldau is a few kilometres away.
Commuter households like to move at the weekend. Our removal company offers a Saturday date with no Saturday surcharge.
Living in a small lakeside municipality
At the end of 2024 Walchwil had 3,994 inhabitants, a good third of them with foreign nationality. Around 35 clubs and associations shape village life, from the brass band founded in 1895 to the «Bärgtrichler» (cowbell ringers) on 5 December. The coat of arms also tells the village's story: the six red cones on the green fir tree stand for the old families Hürlimann, Rust, Müller, Enzler, Roth and Röllin. When people move here from abroad and the new flat is not free yet, we take care of furniture storage, as well as furniture assembly, disposal and end-of-tenancy cleaning.
Walchwil borders the town of Zug to the north, Unterägeri to the east and Arth in the canton of Schwyz to the south. We are equally there for a move to Zug or as the removal company for Unterägeri. Our base in Wallisellen is around 35 km away as the crow flies. Contact your movers in Walchwil and receive your quote within 24 hours.
Questions about Walchwil
How do you plan a move to a hillside property in Walchwil?
Walchwil lies on the slope between the Zugerberg and the Rossberg, and the municipal area rises from Lake Zug at 413 m above sea level to 1204 m above sea level. During the survey we determine vehicle size, stopping place and carrying route and clarify whether a furniture lift makes sense.
Is the Oberdorfstrasse relevant for moves into the centre of Walchwil?
The Oberdorfstrasse opened on 15 October 2018 as the northern access road and is intended to relieve the village centre. Which access suits your address best is something we clarify during the survey.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Walchwil: from the H25 up to the Hagegg
On the «Zug Riviera» there are almost 800 metres of altitude between the lake level and the Hagegg. For every address in Walchwil we therefore determine access, vehicle and stopping place individually.
Upper areas up to the Hagegg
Above the village the municipal area reaches up to the Hagegg at 1204 metres, almost 800 metres above the lake. For houses in the upper areas, after the survey we determine which vehicle size the access allows and how much time the carrying route needs.
On main road H25
Main road H25 runs through the village. If your address is on this through route, we reserve the stopping place early and load quickly so that traffic towards Zug and Arth-Goldau can keep flowing.
Parking reservation
If the removal van cannot stop on private ground, we apply for the parking reservation with the responsible office in Walchwil. The authority charges you the cost of the permit, and we take care of the application and the date.
Disposal
Small quantities after unpacking, such as glass or cardboard, you take to the collection point of the municipality of Walchwil. Furniture and bulky items that are not coming to the new home we dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Walchwil on Lake Zug
Who clears an entire house in Walchwil if the municipality refers you to private providers?
We can do that: we clear cellars, attics and living spaces, take furniture and bulky items away and dispose of everything properly. You do not need to buy bulky waste stickers for this. On request we combine the clearance with moving the pieces you are keeping and with end-of-tenancy cleaning including handover guarantee.
Who takes care of customs if I move to Walchwil from abroad?
We handle complete customs clearance, i.e. export from your previous country and import into Switzerland. It is based on an inventory list that we draw up together with you. Which documents customs requires in your case we discuss during the free survey, which is also possible by WhatsApp video from abroad.
How does the van get to a house on the Vorderberg-, Forchwald- or Hinterbergstrasse?
Depending on the location, via the gentlest access: for the north side of the village we consider the Oberdorfstrasse, so that the van does not have to go through the village centre. On the hillside roads, width, gradient and turning space decide the vehicle size. We determine this during the survey and then plan the number of carriers.
How do I transport valuables safely when moving in Walchwil?
Most safely in your own car or in a bag that you keep hold of: jewellery, cash, ID documents, important files and medication. Photograph valuable furniture before the move. We transport the rest of your household goods insured and well padded to the new address.
When is your cleaning team on site for the flat handover in Walchwil?
At the handover appointment itself, provided you have booked end-of-tenancy cleaning with handover guarantee. Cleaning takes place beforehand in the empty flat; while the property management inspects, the team stays and deals with every complaint immediately and free of charge. Afterwards you hand over the keys and sign the handover report.
What should I bear in mind when moving from Walchwil to Arth or Goldau in the canton of Schwyz?
You change canton, even though the distance is short. We drive along the lake on the H25, reserve the stopping places in both municipalities for the same day and reassemble everything at the destination. In the customer portal you enter Arth as your new municipality, and the checklist then shows the Schwyz offices for registration and your vehicle.
Which measurements should I know before moving into a hillside house above Lake Zug?
Door widths, staircase turns and ceiling heights in the new home, as well as the dimensions of your largest furniture. If a sofa will not fit through the door, we check other routes into the house during the survey, for example via the terrace. A floor plan with room names on every box also speeds up unloading on the slope.
