I had a really great time at Alpen Retreat! It is a perfect place if you need to get out of the big city and reconnect with nature! You can go on walks through the forests and mountains, explore the little town Nassereith, go to Zugspitze or da short trip to Innsbruck on your days off. The working hours were respected and the instructions were clear and there was always someone to help :). The team is great, making you feel like at home and the food is delicious!!! Thank you for this opportunity!

Wow, the most amazing and special volunteer experience ever! Set amongst the Alps, it is truly a magical place to connect with nature, meet like-minded people and embrace slow living. The tasks were very evenly spread between the team, the expectations were clear and the whole team made you feel so welcomed and valued. Elly, Wolfgang and the staff are so welcoming, are always there to help you out and also have amazing local knowledge on things to do in the area. This is one experience I will never forget and I am so grateful for my time in the most special place, until next time Alpen xx

Alpen was one of the best volunteering experiences I've had! The workers, owners, and volunteers are incredibly kind, generous, and fun. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views, amazing hikes, and a river and lake nearby. Volunteer accommodation is shared and separate, and the food was always delicious and plentiful. During retreats, especially silent ones, time in the main house and yoga hall is limited, but the volunteer house is cozy. I'm so grateful for the time spent, the lessons learned, and the wonderful people I met. Hope to come back one day!
