Working on the Lonza campus at Visp? Tell us your crew size, dates and trade package and we will source long-stay housing across Visp, Brig-Glis and Naters.
Lonza has been expanding its biologics campus at Visp in Valais in phases. A CHF 650 million mammalian manufacturing facility of about 27,500 square metres with six 20,000 litre bioreactors was announced in May 2021, the company invested around CHF 1 billion at Visp during 2022 alone, and two bioconjugation expansions announced in October and November 2024 are targeted to be operational in 2027 and 2028. A new office building with 700 workstations and a 500 seat canteen was reported in October 2025.
That rolling pattern suits crews on multi-month assignments across civils, process installation, qualification and commissioning. It also strains housing. Visp has around 8,000 residents, and Swiss reporting put rental vacancy in Visp, Brig-Glis and Naters below 2 percent against a national average of 5.8 percent, with more than 2,000 jobs added between 2020 and 2022 and rents rising. There is no published worker camp for the site, so teams compete for the same limited long-stay stock as local residents.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work at Visp, matched to your access route along the Rhone valley.
We assess practical locations across Visp, Brig-Glis and Naters based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
