Flat, gridded and on the lake. One of the easy ones on this shore.
Morges is the exception on this stretch of water. Where most Lake Geneva towns climb hard behind the shore, Morges lies flat along it, laid out in regular streets around a harbour and a castle. That makes it one of the more straightforward deliveries in the canton.
This shore is defined by gradient almost everywhere along it. Lausanne climbs, Vevey has vineyard terraces behind it, Montreux rises towards Caux. Morges does none of that. The town sits on level ground with the lake on one side and the vineyards starting well back.
The street layout helps too. The centre runs on a regular pattern around the Grand-Rue rather than a medieval tangle, so a vehicle can generally get reasonably close to a door, and turning is possible.
The old streets near the castle and the harbour are the tightest part, and they are tight rather than impossible. Elsewhere this is a comfortable town to work in.
Morges also appears as La Côte and Tolochenaz. Whichever version you searched for, this is the same city and the same page. Give the mover the address exactly as it appears on your Swiss lease.
Morges sits between Lausanne and Geneva with good road and rail to both, which makes it commuter territory for either. A good share of arrivals work in one of the two cities and chose a smaller town on the lake instead.
That means full household moves rather than the single rooms that dominate Lausanne. Families, longer stays, more furniture, and dates driven by when a property becomes available rather than by a term or a contract.
It also means the shared vehicle economics work well, because this shore is served continuously from Geneva through to Montreux and a lorry with room in it is passing regularly.
Worth reading before you send an enquiry about Morges, in this order.
Sharing a lorry on a shore served continuously.
What flat ground and easy access are worth.
Furniture into a village among the vines.
The La Côte vineyards begin a short way inland and the villages among them are served on the same runs as the town. Those are a different proposition from the flat centre: narrow lanes between vine walls, tight turns and limited standing room.
Tolochenaz and the other communes immediately around Morges are largely level and straightforward. It is the ones on the rising ground behind where a shuttle stage may be needed.
Give the village name and the street rather than describing the address as being near Morges. The difference between the flat and the slope is the whole quote.
Morges holds a large spring flower festival in its lakeside park, and for its duration the park, the shore and a good part of the nearby parking are given over to it. It is a smaller disruption than the Montreux festival further along the lake, but it is worth knowing about.
Outside that period the town is quiet, and the summer lake traffic that clogs Montreux and Vevey is lighter here. If your dates are flexible, this is not a town where the calendar costs you much.
What does matter is the same as everywhere on this shore: the lakeside road is single and busy, and a delivery timed for the morning rush will spend some of it stationary.
Generally, yes. Most Lake Geneva towns climb hard behind the shore. Morges lies flat along it, laid out in regular streets around the harbour and castle rather than a medieval tangle, so a vehicle can usually get reasonably close to a door and turning is possible.
One to check rather than avoid. The town holds a large spring flower festival in its lakeside park, which takes over the shore and a good part of the nearby parking. It is a smaller disruption than the Montreux festival further along, and the rest of the year is quiet.
Those are a different proposition. The La Côte vineyards begin a short way inland, and the villages among them have narrow lanes between vine walls, tight turns and limited standing room. Some need a shuttle stage. Give the village name and street rather than saying near Morges.
Yes, on the same runs. The communes immediately around Morges are largely level and straightforward to deliver into. It is the ones on the rising ground behind, among the vineyards, where access changes and the quote changes with it.
Because it sits between the two with good road and rail to both, so it works as commuter territory for either while being a smaller town on the lake. That tends to mean full household moves and families rather than the single rooms that dominate a university city.
Yes. This shore is served continuously from Geneva through to Montreux, so a vehicle with room in it passes regularly and a consignment for Morges rarely waits long. If your dates have any flexibility, it is a genuinely cheaper answer here.
French, throughout the canton of Vaud. The commune, your lease, the utilities and any parking application will all be in French. Give the mover the address exactly as your Swiss lease writes it rather than translating any part of it.
