I've spent the whole winter season here at Châtel and I couldn't have asked for a better place!
Staff: Jason, Marion, Alissa, and other volunteers [Julie, Nao, Mel] were like another familly to me. From the start you can feel welcome, well cared for. The atmosphere is friendly and joyful.
I worked from 3-4 h five days a week, sometimes longer [5, 6, 8 h]. My shifts were in the morning so the whole afternoon was for me. I could go skiing, go hiking, etc.
All in all, it was an amazing experience [both with work and meeting people] and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Châtel is such a charming place, the hikes are beautiful, the atmosphere is so peaceful, and I loved my stay at the hostel.
I worked a few hours in the mornings and had a lot of time for myself. Jason is a great boss and the team just felt like family :) everyone is always ready to help and to make you feel at home.
I'm so thankful for the beautiful memories I've made during this summer! Amazing place, amazing people (and amazing burguers as well haha)
I had the best experience here and the time has gone too quickly!! I will never forget it <3

Thank you!!

Julieta has been a great worker at our place. She initialy came for the season but ended up staying for 2 years. We didn't want to let her go :)
She has extra skills such as playing music, singing and painting and she is always keen to do more

It was the best experience I've ever had in my entire life! Jason is an amazing host, super kind and friendly! The working schedule is great, the place is beautiful and you get to connect with nature and see amazing landscapes. The other volunteers were awesome people and we spend so many great moments together! I am really grateful for my season here :)

Com certeza uma das melhores experiências que já tive! Em relação ao trabalho, tudo correu conforme o combinado - incluindo tempo suficiente para aproveitar as montanhas e a cidadezinha! Sem falar que o Jason é um anfitrião incrível e ainda formou uma equipe muito especial essa temporada :)
