Description
Hello,
We are a camping site located in the italian mountains at 1200 msl. The Valle Maira belongs to the cottian alps and is unique in Piemont. Our camping site includes 19 caravan pitches, a sosta, lots of open space for tents, Bar-Restaurant, Mini-Market, 3 Apartments and an indian-village with 11 tipis.
We are a german couple that run the well-known campground since 2019 as the former operator retired.
In 2023 we started to enroll with workaway and were very pleased with this new experience.
We want to host only single persons. No couples or families. No dogs / pets.
We will provide you with full pension (in general we prepare mountain-style food with piemontese, german and swiss recepies. Because it is sometimes asked: we do not offer strict vegetarian diet. A vegetarian should be tolerant of eating small amounts of meat.
Your accommodation will be in a mobile home (roulotte). You can come with your own camper! We provide free laundry and free wifi.
We recommend providing your own health insurance cover.
We run a drug free policy, meaning we do not tolerate the use of illegal substances at our property or while working.
Thanks for checking our profile &
we look forward to hearing from you,
Sandra, Roland and staff

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There will be enough time to meet the local people (all very friendly!) us, our staff, our guests, for exploring the outstanding mountain area and for outdoor activities like hiking, MTB, climbing, rafting (Valle Stura). The Valle Maira has preserved its wild landscape and our life is detached from the comforts of the city. Similar things like freshly baked bread get here again a high appreciation.
