Description
Couple who have just bought a chalet alpage. It is a bit of a wreck and we need some help. We are green orientated, but not fanatical. We have many projects, from tidying the place up making it sound for our first winter, create a path to the mountain stream. Work out how to get water from stream to house, we do have mains water as well. Building a treehouse Making a good garden, making a summer kitchen, fixing the roof. There will be something you can do. Ten years ago at our previous place we hosted over 60 volunteers and seem to keep in touch with quite a few of them.
Apologises to those I have not replied to ,life got tricky and is now back on a level keel

Because the tasks are so varied you will learn lots depending on your interests. We eat together , talk and hopefully laugh. In reality I dislike this question I do not know what you will learn, but we do want you to enjoy yourselves

Anything to everything . Inside and outside. All help is welcome . we feed you well and you will have plenty of time for the things you want to do in the area.
