Welcome to Emmendinger Hütte, our cozy mountain guesthouse in the heart of the Black Forest, located directly in the Feldberg ski area!
We invite you to become part of our international mountain community and experience a unique lifestyle surrounded by nature.
**Before winter (October–November)**, we focus on preparing our guesthouse for the upcoming ski season. You can help with painting, decorating, small DIY projects, cleaning, organizing, and making our mountain home welcoming and comfortable.
**During winter (December–March)**, our focus shifts to hospitality. You can support our team with housekeeping, preparing guest rooms, breakfast service, welcoming guests, and other daily activities.
We especially welcome flexible, hands-on people who enjoy teamwork, practical activities, and learning new skills. Experience with DIY, maintenance, or hospitality is a bonus, but a positive attitude matters most!
**What makes this experience special?**
You'll live directly in our mountain guesthouse, surrounded by beautiful forests, hiking trails, and ski slopes. We provide free accommodation and all meals, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to explore the region during your free time.
Our goal is to create a friendly, respectful, and welcoming environment where people from different countries can live, share experiences, and learn from each other.
Whether you join us for autumn preparations or the snowy winter season, we look forward to welcoming you to our mountain home!
