The Experience

No boring 9-to-5 vibe here. Your tasks can switch between kitchen help, housekeeping, guest support and outdoor projects around the lodge and camping. We’ll figure out your strengths and best fit in a video call as part of the application process. Bring real commitment, good energy and a can-do mindset – and we’ll give you insider access to our beautiful lodge, local life and extras you probably won’t find in a standard volunteering gig.

I was at Skålsjögården for a month and it was really great. I was mainly doing outside jobs and helping renovating one apartment. Jonas and Sabrina are really kind and understanding and it was nice to work with them. They even provide a volunteer car to go grocory shopping or do trips on your days off. There are lots of possible activities to do in your free time like for example various hiking routes or a hotpot. Thanks for the great time there, it was really fun.

I spent two weeks at Skålsjögården with my friend. We both worked in the forest, clearing branches from the trails and marking fallen trees or damaged signs on the trails on a map, which was both a lot of fun and, at times, a challenge due to the condition of the trails in some places and their length, so I'd recommend the forest work to physically active people who enjoy being in nature ☺️ As for accommodations, volunteers have their own house with well-equipped rooms. Overall, I highly recommend Skålsjögården

I stayed in Skalsjogarden for two weeks. It's a beautiful localisation, also a remote place so the closest shops are 25 min away by car. The volunteers stay in a separate building so I had a private room and only shared kitchen and bathroom with other volunteers which is very comfortable and convenient. My work was mainly hiking the nearby trails, so it was quite easy, however doing it day to day can be a little bit demanding so you have to be an active person to fully enjoy this work. Thanks to this opportunity and Sabrina and Jonas, I had a very lovely time and I would recommend! 💜

I had an amazing stay at the Skålsjögården lodge During my stay I've done a lot of different tasks During the high season, it was only worked in the restaurant. When the season was over, it was more outdoor work (with the restaurant during the weekends) I truly recommend this worldpacker opportunity. The restaurant could be pretty much busy so having a good sens of initiative is definitely a plus. Jonas and Sabrina offer amazing working and staying conditions. The lodges are in the middle of the forest with super cool hikes and spots to explore !

I really enjoyed my time at Skålsjögården. It's a beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by forests and lakes. Jonas and Sabrina were welcoming and easy to communicate with, and the tasks were clearly explained and they are very patient in explaining things again if you didn't understand. I also really enjoyed meeting the other volunteers and spending time together. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!
