Description
Me, my wife Ellen and our 2 friendly kids would like to welcome you.
We're used to welcome people from all over the world & would like to welcome more people here at the border of this great National Park. Fulufjellet National Park and surroundings are really amazing! Since a month, I'm president of a non profit organisation, which is the local snowmobile club. I'm a volunteer and we work with many more volunteers.
We try to keep the snowmobile roads open in winter als dedication to the local community. For this I need help! Are you strong, technical, you love cold and adventures?
We'll select 2 person to be coming here from end of november to end of april!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We will try to get you involved in our small community and wonderworld. It would be nice to offer you a stay here. But what we can offer more...an amazing National Park in the backyard...Fulufjellet National Park. Amazing to stay here, winter, spring, summer or fall! Norway as you have wished to discover it! As benefit we can offer you outdoor gear to have fun in your free time. Work hard...play hard... What do you think about SUP, Packraft, hiking and camping, snow shoe hikes, winter fun,...
We're also eager to learn more about you. To give you advice what to see and what to do here. To welcome you in our cosy family.
We would give you warm welcome here at our private house.
You will be connected to a team of 15 local people and get a course before you hit the tracks.
Help
Main task = keeping the snowmobile tracks open! You'll get a snowmobile and course with tips and tricks! Must have = driving licence and technical skill, not afraid of cold conditions and like to be out in the wilderness. Every week, you'll be driving many many hours with the snowmobile into the wilderness (team of 2 person) to keep the snowmobile roads open for the locals. This is part of our non-profit organisation (our snowmobile club supported by the government). Many people will want to do this job...so be quick. You'll be out every day in the wilderness, mountains and valleys on the snowmobile. Beside that, you'll also need to do cleaning and housekeeping at our private home or be home when we put the kids in bed. Ever dreamed of a special adventure? This is it!
We're looking for 2 workawayers that stay from end of november to end of april!
