Your project in the canton of Obwalden
Obwalden is a mountain canton centred on Lake Sarnen and the valley leading up to the Brünig Pass. Sarnen, the main town, has shops, apartment blocks and family homes, while Sachseln and Giswil stretch along the lake with chalets and farmhouses. Higher up, Lungern overlooks its own lake, and Kerns lies on a sunny plateau. Engelberg, separate from the rest of the canton, is a mountain resort consisting mainly of chalets, second homes and hotels, with a long, snowy winter. Although the canton is German-speaking, you can easily write your request in English. For a traditional chalet or an extension, ask the municipality about the applicable rules. Give the village or town and postcode and, for a second home, the periods when a property visit can be arranged.
- In Engelberg, say whether the property is a second home and when tradespeople can access it.
- For a chalet on a slope, say whether a lorry can get close or whether materials must be carried.
- If your house is near Lake Sarnen, mention any damp problems in the basement.
Removals in the canton of Obwalden
In Obwalden, a removal must take account of the lakes, mountain villages and a resort such as Engelberg. In Sarnen, villas and modest apartment buildings offer simple access, but neighbouring farms and their outbuildings often represent considerable volumes. In Engelberg, holiday flats and chalets regularly change owners or tenants, and the snowy winter complicates loading, so the warm season remains the most comfortable. Some chalets have no road to the door, which means carrying or transport by small vehicle. Depending on the location, the municipality may require an application for the vehicle to stop. Point out fragile items, such as wood carvings.
- For a furnished holiday flat, draw up a list of furniture that stays and furniture that goes to avoid omissions.
- If your chalet has no direct road access, state the distance to walk from the last point a lorry can reach.

Frequently asked questions
How can I prepare my move in Obwalden?
Draw up an inventory of the furniture and boxes to be moved, noting bulky or fragile items. Check access at both addresses, such as lifts, stairs and parking for the lorry. Ask the removal company whether it provides boxes, packing and furniture dismantling.
Why are both addresses important in a moving request?
Stairs, lift dimensions, parking and carrying distances affect how belongings can be handled. Include these details for both departure and arrival, together with bulky items. Tell the mover about access restrictions so the handling method and any required arrangements can be discussed in advance.
What should I compare in moving services quotes?
Compare packing, loading, transport, unloading and furniture assembly against the same inventory. Identify boxes, storage and special handling separately. Ask for the terms for handling damage and changes to the inventory, and confirm who arranges access or parking where necessary.
How should I prepare for the moving services visit or work?
Label items by destination room and separate valuables or personal documents to keep with you. Share access details privately and confirm that lifts or shared entrances can be used. Agree which furniture should remain assembled until the moving team assesses it.
