Help
On this small mountain farm with donkeys and horses, you will feed animals in the winter months, accompany children on rides, teach in the round pen if you have experience, and help with all sorts of pasture care , such as cutting trees. You will learn to use tools and small machines and can learn German or Italian. In the summer months, it's all about harvesting hay, bringing animals to the Alps, putting up fences, tending to the vegetable garden, etc. You should be comfortable walking (fitness) and like mountains. Normally you will only be on duty half days and have a lot of free time.
