Kuruluş
The Bagnes valley is located in the Valais region of Switzerland. Its mountains are rich in alpine pastures where herds of cows graze during the summer, and thanks to the richness of the pastures, the milk harvested is used to produce the finest raclette cheeses. The mountain pastures, located at altitudes of between 1’500-2’000m, are in a fragile environment that needs to be maintained in order to preserve sufficient space for the herds. Since 2023, the mountain pastures are part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage. To help maintain the landscape, the Swiss Alpine Club in Martigny is offering volunteers this workcamp. The program is divided into different parts: working on the mountain pastures & mountain hikes incl. some climbing under the responsibility of a qualified guide.
İş Tanımı
The volunteers will take care of the maintenance of the mountain pastures. The most common tasks are clearing away dead wood, overgrown bushes and stones as well as setting up or work on the rehabilitation of irrigation systems. There might be other tasks in order to help local farmers with their responsibilities. Please be aware that work is physically demanding as you are working outdoors and about 1’500 - 2’500 meters above sea level.
Konaklama ve Yemek
You will sleep in different alpine huts (you change accommodation in the middle of the workcamp). You will sleep in dormitories with all other SCI volunteers. Mattresses, blankets and pillows will be provided in the huts. Volunteers need to bring their own (silk) sleeping bag. There are shared toilets and showers in the huts. Wi-Fi is available in the huts. Food (breakfast, lunch & dinner) will be provided, except eventual private needs. There is a kitchen team, that will cook for all the people staying in the alpine huts.

Free time activities: There will be two mountain hikes (each of 2 days), where the volunteers go to a refuge where they will sleep. You will hike at 3’000 - 3’500 meters above sea level. Please be aware, that the mountain outing is 3 to 4 hours' walking and up to 1000 meters of ascent! The second day you are invited to try some climbing nearby (you do not need to have climbing experience). The mountain hikes and climbing are organised under the responsibility of a qualified guide.

Workcamp open to volunteers with children (Kids are included in the total number of volunteers): 2 children are accepted. Minimal age for children is 12.
