    Description

    Hi I'm Ambros, I work as a shepherd in the Alps. I'm looking for help in and around my cabin. Please notice that there is no street, not even a dirt road up there. You have to walk between 2-3 hours to reach the cabin from the nearest bus stop.

    I'm in charge of the cows up there and I also run a small business with some drinks and local food from the farmers and accomodation. Usually I'm able to do the business stuff myself.
    Your task would include: making wood, doing the dishes and carrying stuff up and down the mountainvalley. Of course you'll have plenty of time to hike in the beautiful surrounding area. There are a lot of beautiful places to discover
    It is a very simple cabin with not a lot hot water and a very simple toilet, like in the old days.
    One more time, the only access to the cabin is by foot. From the nearest busstop it's between 2-4 hours hike, depends on your fitness, sometimes i can arrange a shuttle for half of the track but thats not certain. The cabin is located above the "Tillfussalm" from there it is a 1-1,5 hour trail up to 1925m. If you have any questions just ask me.
    Greetings Ambros
