Actividades & Turnos
On the weekends during lunchtime you'll be helping in the service and during the week the tasks will differ, depending what's needed.
Our hut is a place where people enjoy the tranquility of nature. As we are living secluded and don’t have shops etc close you will experience a slow kind of living. You will be able to learn about the culture of Ticino and the way of life in a mountain hut. You get to try the local cuisine and products and maybe even learn some authentic recipes.
-What to do in your free time:
As we are half an hour drive or 3 hours walk away from the city and only go down once a week for shopping, you will probably spend most of your time in and around the hut. There is a beautiful hike you can do which leads to another mountain hut and eventually to the mountain behind us. On your off days there’s also the opportunity to catch a ride with guests or friends so you can go into the valley and explore beautiful Ticino. As Joël is from the area he will definitely lay out the perfect non-touristic program for you 😜 there are beautiful fresh rivers, traditional and charming villages and of course the Lake Maggiore.
-there are some nice climbing spots around
-Our work schedule depends mostly on the weather. When it´s sunny, we are very busy, when it´s raining, we might have no one around
Reglas
-In exchange for your help, you stay for free and you will get free food, which means breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will pick you up when you´ll arrive and also drop you off.
It´s more unlikely, but if we are really busy, and you work more than 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, we will pay the extra hours worked.
-NO WIFI, reception is usually but not always reliable
-You will be staying in our shared bedroom, which has 16 beds in total but rarely all of them are taken and the room is very spacious. If you wish you can also stay in a tent, which we’ll provide, just outside in our backyard, with a great view on the stars! :) Bathroom/shower is shared.
If you have a campervan, you could also use the parking just under the hut.
-DOGS: We are absolute animal lovers and would be happy to have a dog around! Unfortunately dogs can't sleep upstairs in the rooms as the wooden floor would be easily damaged. Dogs can sleep on the main floor though, they don't have to stay outside. We have many visitors with dogs, so your dog needs to be well behaved. As we are surrounded by cows it's crucial to always keep an eye on the dog.
