    Description

    Dear Workawayers

    Please note this information in advance regarding our location.

    We live up on 1600 meters above sea level in a car-free zone. Our place only can be reached with various mountain railways, cablecabins or by hiking.

    You will find all information for the mountain railways and cablecabins on the hompage.


    There is the possibility to buy a "swiss travel pass" for Switzerland .


    Or for our region only a“tellpass“.


    With both providers, the tickets for Mount RIGI are included at no additional cost.

    Surrounded by beautyful nature with countless mountains, meadows, forests and lakes are we directly lokated on a hiking trail.
    Our old small mountain chalet offers protection and rustic cosiness.

    Our peacefull live is characterized by nature awareness and simplicity.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am happy to share with you my conscious and simple mountain life.

    We can work together outside in nature, by and with the animals in any weather.

    Our daily routine is structured by three simple vegetarian meals.

    In the evening we look back on the consciously experienced day in a cozy environment and make plans for the next day before the night's rest.

    I hope you are aware of yours personal responsibility and you will treat people, animals and nature with joy and respect. For my part, I am looking forward to carrying out the daily tasks and work with you for the benefit of all involved in an uncomplicated way and with flair for craftsmanship. I'm learning most new things easily and let me be enthusiastic about your good and practical ideas. There is always potential for optimization in my work environment ;-) .
