Program Details

We would love someone who can commit to at least 12 weeks, Ideally mid Dec - end March
You will enjoy chatting to guests - we are a very relaxed, ‘homely’ business and know most of our guests really well as they are regulars. You can really have great chats with them and us too!
We work as a good team, quickly and efficiently and enjoy being outdoors skiing or hiking as much as possible.
The slopes are 5 mins from the chalet so perfect for mountain enthusiasts and lots of free time 5 days a week to be on the mountains.
We have 2 cats as well for more company
We also offer €150 to volunteers per week
Apart from that we love our volunteers to have a great experience here and enjoy exploring our gorgeous part of Austria
We may have ' quieter' periods during this time so if you can bring social media skills that's a huge bonus to help us with marketing opportunities. There could be some light DIY jobs too


Activities & Shift

Working hours 6 days per week 7.30 - 10.30 & 17-21/22 hr

Helping in the kitchen preparing food & baking so you must be happy in a kitchen environment. Serving breakfast & dinner and helping wash up are the main tasks but interacting with the guests is a big part of it too.
