Chalet del Sole Altanca

Hi! We are Ettore & Rossella :) Staying with us often means meeting cheerful, friendly, and interesting people from many different countries. It’s an ideal option for very open-minded travelers who are used to hostels, tents, or shared spaces. If you're looking for a positive, informal, open-minded and multicultural environment in the middle of the Alps, surrounded by nature and amazing mountains, brething pure air, drinking good and fresh water (no plastic bottles here!), then you're in the right place 😊
If you like to make some experience in guest welcoming, booking management, cleaning and maybe cooking and you don't need more than something to eat and a clean shared room to sleep, you're in the right place.
If you need privacy, luxury, or are not comfortable sharing a room, then this is not the right fit.
If you enjoy cultural exchange, we are always happy to spend time with volunteers — joining outings with friends, dinners out, skiing, walks, short trips, and excursions in the surrounding area. We are also always available to offer tips on places to visit and things to do nearby ✨

We are an easygoing, friendly, and very very open-minded couple. We’ve traveled extensively, we are very used to sharing spaces and experiences with others, and we understand that good coexistence requires mutual respect and tolerance. We genuinely enjoy meeting new people, exchanging experiences, and especially practicing languages.
Ettore is currently studying Russian and Albanian and improving his Spanish and English.
Rossella is still improving her French and her English and would like to learn German.
So language exchange is very welcome!
We offer a place to sleep (the volounteer will share our bedroom with us, so little space and no privacy at all! :) ), board, and Italian lessons if needed. Since we work a lot and have limited time, optional help with welcoming guests, cleaning and cooking is appreciated, as well as conversation in Spanish, English, Russian, French Albanian — or any other language you may speak 😊
Volunteers can expect a respectful, warm, and relaxed environment, where sharing, learning, and enjoying the mountains all go hand in hand.
