  Intentamos vivir en armonia con la naturaleza, algunas de las habitaciones son de barro y paja y de cubierta vegetal para hacer menos impacto medioambiental, la luz electrica la hacemos con placas solares.
  Tenemos gallinas, 8 ovejas, perros y gatos.
  Intentamos ser autosuficientes con nuestro huerto de verano y lo que no podemos cultivar en casa lo compramos en una coperativa local.
  Trabajamos la madera, tenemos plantas medicinales, artesanias y hacemos deporte como escalar, bici, esqui...
