So then boys and girls, all my dreams have come true and I'm moving to Switzerland. Decided not to worry about the cost and live in Zermatt for a year whilst I find a place to buy!! Have 2 viewings sorted for next weekend already and hope to set up at least 4 more. One of them can be skied back to at the end of the day!! So all I have to do is make sure the future Mrs. Tino is so taken with the place that there is no opposition to the plan :) a long weekend in a nice chalet should do the trick :) Might take a board down for a few mornin runs on Sunday and Monday too.
anyhoo,... just let me know when you are all in town for the J2Ski Zermatt trip and I might get out of bed early and come meet you.
On a more serious note, any tips on relocating to Switzerland are appreciated. The move and residence permits will be handled by the company so that's easy. I guess the personal experience side of things I need to know.
Happy days!!

Congratulations Tino! Welcome to Oberwallis.
Moving to Switzerland is quite straightforward these days, especially if your company is organising the permits and taking care of the move. In order to drive from Täsch to Zermatt the removal company should obtain a permit from the police station in Visp and your belongings may have to be transferred to an electric vehicle in Spiss.
You will need to organise some health insurance (your employer should pay for your accident insurance) there is an outline of the system, together with money saving tips and a premium calculator here: http://www.vermoegenszentrum.ch/Privatkunden/Pensionierung-planen/Tipps---Infos/Dossier--Die-drei-Saulen/1--Saule/Krankenversicherungen
I would also get an Air Zermatt (or Rega) rescue card SFr 70 for a couple http://www.air-zermatt.ch/air_zermatt_2007/content/index3_DE.php?content=DE056
Make sure you get an Einheimischenausweis from the Gemeinde Kanzlei http://gemeinde.zermatt.ch/ek/einheimischenausweis.html this entitles you to a discount on the price of lift tickets throughout the region and cheap tickets on the MGB Bahn.
I found this book quite useful http://www.survivalbooks.net/products/living-and-working-in-switzerland/ and there is also some useful info on the Swiss government website http://www.swissemigration.ch/index.html?lang=en
