I had a really great time at Pischa and felt welcome from the very first day. The working hours were respected, the food was good, and the tasks were fair and easy to manage. The location is perfect for skiing or snowboarding, and the hiking options are beautiful as well. The work itself wasn't physically demanding. Lisa is a wonderful host – thanks to the warm and friendly atmosphere, I also made some truly great friends during my stay. Overall, this was a very positive experience that I'm grateful for and would happily recommend.

Pischa was truly the best winter ski season that I've ever had. Working with Lisa and the supportive environment that she's created is what made the work team and my experience so special. I found that my 3 weeks spent working with Lisa gave me a new experience each day. The possibilities of learning and engaging in a new experience everyday were endless. The work life balance was very generous for me and my stay was nothing but perfect.

My time at Pischa was amazing. The people, the hostel's location in the middle of the mountains, and the whole atmosphere were fantastic! If you like snow and skiing, this is definitely the perfect place.

This experience has exploded my heart with joy and love in so many ways: the people is amazing, the working hours are well respected, the food is incredible, the tasks are not hard. Everyone is open to help each other, it makes you feel not only glad but also lucky to spend time there. The place is perfect to learn snow/ski, or you can even hike!! The work itself's not heavy at all. Lisa is funny AF, she is super sympathetic and you'll be happy to spend time with her. Shes open minded and you will learn so much about her. Loved Pischa with all my heart!
