Amazing experience at the mountain chalet! The chalet is located right on the slope, offering absolutely stunning views. Sabrina was incredibly kind and welcoming, always making me feel at home, and the whole team was friendly and helpful. Working hours were clearly scheduled and flexible, tasks were mainly housekeeping in new apartments - simple and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Thank you for everything🤍

It was a true pleasure having you with us. You impressed us with your helpfulness, reliability, flexibility, and consistently high-quality work.
Beyond that, your wonderful personality brought such a positive energy to our team, and you quickly became a valued part of our daily life.
Although your stay was originally planned for 1.5 weeks, we were very happy that you extended it to 4 weeks – which says it all.
Thank you so much. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again!

this experience was my first world packers stay! The hotel and the amendments were great! However, I would recommend this for a rather short stay, like a week! It was the perfect opportunity to go on hikes and discover Vorarlberg, it was more difficult though to go out, since there aren't many opportunities in Lech! I loved the hospitality from Sabrina and the Team!

Dear Laura,

Thank you for your kind review! We were very happy to have you with us – you were eager to learn, motivated, and completed all tasks wonderfully.
It’s true that during the "Zwischensaison" Lech is much quieter. In summer and especially in winter, the village is full of life with many bars, restaurants, shops, skiing and hiking opportunities. We hope you can experience that one day!
You’re always welcome to reach out and visit us again.
Warm regards,
Sabrina & Team
