Description
We're a friendly easygoing Swiss family, living in the Rhone valley Switzerland , surrounded by stunning mountains. Mum, 49, two boys, at the of age 15 and 24 and grandmum 72, 3dogs and lots of horses.
We offer a varied stay in countryside.
We live in a very nice area for hiking, skiing, biking, horseback riding etc.
We give horses a home in which they are understood and kept in a species-appropriate manner. When I'm at work, my mum or my boys need help in the stable or in the house. The work is done together. We work together and can learn from each other. Workawayers do not have to work alone.
