  Beschreibung

  Welcome to our Alpine Eco-Home!
  
  Hello! We are a small, warm-hearted family living in the stunning Swiss Alps:
  - Irene (38) trains future teachers.
  - Ludovic (43) is a high school teacher.
  - Our daughters, Amélie (9) and Flurina (5), are lively, curious, and love little adventures.
  
  We’re passionate about sustainable living and have built our dream home: a modern passive house on a sunny hillside, using natural materials and ecological technologies. The house is complete, but we are still developing the surroundings and experimenting with different eco-friendly features.
  
  What kind of help?
  We’re looking for motivated, easygoing helpers who enjoy nature and a family atmosphere. Tasks are light and varied, and may include:
  - Gardening, planting, and maintaining our outdoor space.
  - Helping with simple DIY, tidying, and organizing projects around the house.
  - Assisting with daily family life (meals, playing with the kids, keeping things cozy).
  - Supporting us in small projects linked to our sustainable lifestyle.
  
  We expect around 4 hours of help per day, five or six days a week (max. total 20h per week)— Sundays are free.
  We also appreciate if you help set the table and put your dishes in the dishwasher after meals.
  
  Learning & Inspiration
  While your help will be simple and hands-on, you’ll also get the chance to experience a home that integrates:
  - Passive house design with large south-facing windows and earth walls.
  - Solar thermal and photovoltaic systems.
  - Rainwater collection and water-saving practices.
  - Composting and ecological toilets.
  - Aquaponics, rocket stove, and more.
  
  Some systems are fully running, others are still in progress — so if you’re curious about green building and alternative living, this is a unique place to learn and exchange ideas.
  
  What we offer
  - A cozy private guest room with a double bed.
  - Delicious meals shared together.
  - Plenty of conversations, inspiration, and exchange.
  - A peaceful environment surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.
  
  👉 We can usually host during school holidays, when we have more time to share family life.
  
  We’d love to welcome you into our family life, share our eco-experiences, and learn from your journey too.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you!

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  The road leading to our house is 2.4 m wide, steep, with curves, and one-way. Access with Campervans is possible and has already been used, but requires good driving skills and a rather smaller vehicle.

  We have chicken, just tell us with which kind of animal you would come with. We don't have that much space but in principle this is possible.
