Alpen retreat was my very first Worldpackers experience, also my first time solo traveling abroad or ever going to Europe! It was truly a magical experience, I arrived at night time with a friend that I met a few days before, and was welcomed in with hugs and warm food by all of the other volunteers that stayed up waiting for us to get there :) Elly is such an incredibly sweet soul, her and Wolfgang are very accommodating to any schedule change needed, they invite us to participate in activities whenever possible :) and the food is really great! I learned so much about plant based diets

Mi estadía en Alpen fue maravillosa, desde el primer momento me sentí en mi Hogar. Los anfitriones junto a su hijo colman de amor el Centro, en cada detalle en el día a día se puede sentir el amor y dedicación. En cuanto al Team, en mis cuatro meses conocí varios compañeros voluntarios y viví experiencias hermosas con ellos. Sobre los cursos y talleres, pude tomar los que se dictan en inglés (ya que no hablo alemán) y fueron transformadores para continuar aprendiendo sobre yoga, nuevas prácticas orientales y conectar con personas de todas partes del mundo. Full recomiendo esta experiencia <3

That experience for me was incredible, I felt like home since the first day. The people were my family during the 2 months I spent there and they will keep in my heart forever. The owners are very kind and their child is a special and cute kid 🥰. The food is totally delicious and the landscapes that surround the Retreat are completely beautiful. I'm very grateful to Alpen Yoga Retreat, this experience will stay in my heart forever. Thank youu Elly & Wolfgang ❤️❤️❤️

The experience was outstanding. Surrounded by beautiful nature and scenery with plenty of places to hike at! The retreat itself has a wonderful atmosphere. I enjoyed meditating and the sessions there very much! Work is fair and balanced! It's easy to get along and get used to it! The foods are delicious too. Elly and Wolfgang were wonderful people with much welcoming energies. I would absolutely recommend anyone who are nature lovers and passionate in spirituality!

My 3 months at the Center was truly a life changing experience. This is a magical place with space for a lot of self development. You will share the experience with like minded people and these people will become your little family. We were so close and felt so safe in each others company. There is space for everyone, no matter your culture and background. I was so lucky to both experience the winter and spring here, and can recommend both. Elly and Wolfgang (the hosts) are very lovely people as well, and they have the most beautiful son inside out. Missing everyone and everything<333

Fue una muy buena experiencia este voluntariado, el lugar es muy lindo y tranquilo. Es un lugar ideal para desconectarse, se puede salir a caminar y disfrutar de la naturaleza.

The Center is a special place. Spend time here and you have the opportunity to experience a different pace of life. You can get out in the fresh air to explore nature or have peace to look inward. Use your initiative to make the most of what Tyrol has to offer: I hiked miles, checked out Innsbruck, went skiing in St Anton, visited Munich. I also spent time on my own yoga practice in the yoga hall and joined some retreat classes (eek most were German!). The work is full on when you are on shift but the tasks are clear and fair. Stay for more than a month to understand the flow of the house!

I love spent time in Alpen retreat, surrounded by nature especially beautiful mountain and full of resources to promote you to connect with your self for example library , yoga hall, meditation room. Besides I get some chance to join a yoga session in Retreat Course. Practicing yoga form YouTube by myself makes help me, now I can picture about my future life path clearer. Other facilities that impressed me is the kitchen with well equipped and the room we stay is really cozy. Some recommendations is if the host could engage and communicate more with the volunteer, My stay will be perfect.

Alpen retreat was a great experience, the host was lovely and made sure me and my boyfriend had our days off together. the shifts are relatively easy and the cleaning tasks aren't hard as it's done everyday it's just keeping on top of it. we felt very welcomed. the only downside was on a busy retreat we didn't have many volunteers and the hosts had the flu so couldn't help which made it tiring and stressful but due to no fault of the host. all in all a great time and the hosts was helpful with knowledge of getting around the area

I loved the experience, Ely and Wolfgang are great hosts, the job is very easy, the food is wonderful, the place is incredible, many nice trails and nearby to do, exchanging with the other volunteers is very nice, giving practice in English, in addition to being a very conducive place for your self-knowledge, for me the experience of this volunteer was very enriching personally, besides the place is very welcoming, I hope to return one day! I miss you already 💖
