Ecopol Ecovillage

GRANDVAUX ECOVILLAGE is the first ecovillage of the French part of Switzerland, in Grandvaux (VD), in the middle of the vineyards of Lavaux (UNESCO).

Our ecovillage is labelled ECOPOL, and we are part of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN).

Grandvaux is situated at 10 minutes by train from the city of Lausanne and 15 min walking from the Leman Lake. In front of the house, we have a common permaculture garden and some hiking path close to our house.

We adopt an ecological and community-based way of living. We live in relatively small private rooms (some of them have private bathroom and kitchen) and we have big shared spaces (cafeteria, party rooms, garage, multi-purpose rooms). The food is usually vegetarian and organic and we share as many things as possible in our everyday life, material and immaterial.

I have mixed feelings regarding this experience. All in all I am grateful, I did learn a lot. I‘ve met some really wonderful people. On the other hand, in Grandvaux I missed a real sense of community and didn‘t feel very comfortable.
If you want to explore Switzerland, I wouldn‘t recommend this place, if you want to (learn to) work manually, I do. The tasks where not always nice, but working with João is very nice and I learned a lot from him - about work and life. Thank you!

Amé a los habitantes de las dos ecovillas. Grandvaux es más de gente pasajera con aspecto de centro cultural y Cheiry es más un ambiente familiar más relajado.
Me gusta la cocina compartida, libertad de cocinar creativamente y poder convivir con los nuevos amigos. Es Suiza y es posible que uno tenga que poner más de su parte para poder intimar al principio, pero terminé amando a cada personaje de la casa .
Ha sido una experiencia de largo tiempo, muy entiquecedora, me entregué al proyecto y disfruté todo lo que pude durante mi estancia. Gracias

My volunteer experience in Ecoliving was wonderful! The people were very kind and welcoming, making me feel at home. The work was not too hard, and I got to learn new things.

The best part was the beautiful view—waking up every day to the mountains and lake was truly amazing. It made the experience even more special.

I’m grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rewarding experience!
