Help around an Alpine Lodge in the Austrian Alps

First of all: the guest house is a fantastic place to spend time if you love being in the nature/mountains. You are completely away from any civilization in a cozy house. I spent most of my working time in the kitchen (baking, cooking, washing dishes) and enjoyed it very much. I had also the opportunity to explore other tasks like bartending, cleaning or snow shoveling. Your skills/talents/wishes are taken into account when possible. I also loved spending time with other worldpackers/workers from all over the world. I definitely recommend this experience.

My experience at the guest house was amazing, all the staff were welcoming and lovely and the work was never more than agreed on. The location is beautiful (although be aware it is not easy to get to) and the food is delicious! Wish I could've spent more time at the guest house thankyou so much for an amazing two weeks!

Quedarme en la casa fue como estar en casa. La cabaña es muy cálida y está ubicada en el corazón de las montañas, ideal para desconectar y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Lo único a recalcar es que no está cerca de la ciudad, y el viaje siempre es a través del Kablecar + bus. Los compañeros que me tocaron fueron increíbles, por lo que fue una experiencia muy linda. Frank es muy buen cocinero, por lo que aprendí un montón y comimos muy rico :) Voy a extrañar las montañas!

The place, the views, the hut... amazing! Such a shame at the beginning I didn't feel welcome. the lack of communication, leadership and planning created a few issues. The tasks are not detailed, even if they are simple tasks no one shows you properly what to do. But with the other volunteers we tried our best to create a good environment. We had a lot of time off to explore around in the nature and the snow! . In general it's a good experience but there details to be improved.

We feel conflicted writing this review because overall we had an amazing time at the guest house but there were some significant issues in how the place is managed. For mountain lovers the location is amazing and we had plenty of free time to explore almost every day. The staff is so kind and treated us very well during our stay. Everything was great except that the staff are mistreated and severely overworked to a worrying level. Frank and Andrea were initially welcoming but they became increasingly rude and impatient with us and especially the staff when stressed or busy.

The overall experience was good I met some cool people the locals are great. I had some disappointments with the reality of the costs that I was told (and not told) about but since the issues were pointed out they have updated their page. Just know there will not be rentals available on the mountain and they are pretty expensive. The lodge managers are new so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt but during my stay the lodge was severely understaffed leading to long underpaid working hours for the paid employees due to the owners reliance on and mismanagement of Worldpackers.

It was very pretty but not what I hoped. Not safe for women. The room not as photoed- a small room with three mattresses on the floor, and no room for luggage. I wasn't made aware it costs 27 Euros to ride the cable car necessary each time you leave and come back (stops running at 4:30). Skiing and rentals are not cheap. Severe staff shortages led to working long shifts and days off, exceeding 25 hrs. Frank wasnt respectful of the agreement so 2 WP to left and 1 got kicked out all during my one-week stay. I felt like it was a business trying to cut costs exploting WP and their staff.

The place itself is very nice and cozy. The food is exceptional! The area is cool, given the fact that you live directly on an mountain but for me was nothing special. I looked for a good experience in snowboarding which turned out to be ok. You can ski one very long slope, which is cool but nothing special. You need to pay a guide for the free riding. Every time you want to leave the place you need to pay 27€ for the cable car. The boss isn't very corporate, nor kind. The great time for me was made by the other workers, which obviously can be different for others. All over I had a nice time.
