Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a guest in our guesthouse, you will have the chance to experience everyday life in Switzerland and learn about Swiss culture, traditions and local customs. In our province, Wallis, there is a rich Swiss culture. Depending on the time you visit us, there will be music events, wine tasting, organised walks or bike trips. We are living in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Ideally for walks, bike biking, or skiing. The Arzt is only one hour away from us.
We enjoy meeting people from different countries and hearing their travel experiences. We are always happy to share recommendations about the region, hiking routes, etc.
Furthermore, the guests in the guesthouse come from many different parts of the world. Which makes it easy to meet other international travelers.
Depending on your interest, we are happy to accompany you on a walk in the area. -

You will be staying in a private room, with shared bathroom.
We will provide a kitchen to the Workawayers to cook for themselves. In this kitchen they will find an oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, induction, pans, pots, cuttlery, etc. Furthermore we have a bbq outside for the Workawayer to use as well. We will provide a stipend to the Workawayer for all days (also for the 2 days the Workawayer is not helping out).
In the weekend we will also share some meals with the Workawayer. Have a joint BBQ, etc. -
