Alpen Partners

Alpen Partners works with high-net-worth clients who bring substantial assets into Switzerland and need to structure them tax-efficiently. They advise on wealth transfer, holding structures, investment allocation, and succession planning for expats with complex estates. Their experience with large-scale relocations means they understand cantonal wealth tax nuances and how to position assets for long-term residency.

Suited for relocating entrepreneurs, executives with stock holdings, or inheritors managing family wealth. The team handles the wealth structuring piece that becomes critical when you're moving millions; smaller advisory firms may lack the experience or connections to negotiate optimal structures with cantonal authorities. If your net worth is under 500,000 CHF, you'll likely find Skybound or PwC a better fit cost-wise.
