Moving House to Switzerland | Removals to Switzerland

Hamiltons Removals provide removals to Switzerland from the UK. If you are moving house to Switzerland, we offer three main types of removal services to cater for domestic, corporate and commercial moves. Our dedicated service gives you the sole use of a vehicle. Our special service allows you to specify the collection and delivery dates. Or we can provide a part load/groupage service, where several loads are grouped together and share the same vehicle. Please note that for the part load/groupage service, delivery times vary depending on how quickly consignments are consolidated.

Hamiltons can get involved with as little or as much of your removal as you wish. We can simply turn up on the moving day to transport your items and effects to your new home or we can undertake a full packing, moving and unpacking service. You can even use our Moving Maid Easy service to have your old or new home professionally cleaned.

Hamiltons National & International Removals are based in Norfolk and, with the Channel Tunnel being just over 150 miles away, travel straight into Calais where our European roadtrains can travel directly into Switzerland.

About Switzerland

Switzerland is officially called the Swiss Confederation, Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin, hence its country code of CH, and is a landlocked country in Western Europe. Switzerland is bordered by five countries, which are Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. The country is multilingual and has four national languages German, French, Italian and Romansh.

Switzerland is a Federal Republic consisting of 26 states called Cantons; it has approximately 7.5 million inhabitants and is one of the richest and safest countries in the world.

The first Swiss Confederation appears to date back to August 1st 1291 now celebrated as Switzerland’s National day. Switzerland has a long history of neutrality and did not take part in either World War I or World War II. The capital of Switzerland is Bern, with the largest city being Zurich.

Switzerland is the watch making capitol of the world. It is also well-known for Nestlé chocolate, the book ‘Heidi’, swiss bank accounts and skiing in the swiss alps.

Swiss employment law bans working on Sundays, so virtually all shops stay closed. An exception is any business in a railway station or if a business is a family one, as you aren't employing anybody so you can open, hence small shops can also open on Sundays.
