I had the time of my life at Pischa, it was way more than expected, everyone was so kind, the hostel is comfortable, and the mountains amazing. Even though we arrived at the end of the season, we enjoyed the snow and sleds. It's important to mention that you should look up the exact location before coming, because it might be a bit hard to get back if you want to visit other cities on your free days due to the transportation hours (gondola to the hostel from 9am to 4pm). But even staying just there is totally worth it. I really hope I can go again and stay longer next season. Thanks Lisa!

I stayed in Pischa for about two weeks. The other volunteers were great, the work was fair, and the accommodation was good as well. Lisa listens to the concerns and needs of the volunteers and makes sure you have everything you need. In my free time I enjoyed going down the mountain on a sledge and walking the trails around the hostel. It's also a good idea to bring your own pair of skis or your snowboard!
