About the project

ESC: A LITTLE HUT IN THE MOUNTAIN

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Help us restore a hidden mountain refuge in the heart of southern France! Join us in the village of Puy-Sanière as we bring back to life a hikers' hut perched high above the superb Lac de Serre-Ponçon. Nestled in the wilderness of the Southern Alps, this rustic hut once served as a refuge for hikers exploring the Écrins massif. Surrounded by pine forests and overlooking turquoise waters, it is a symbol of rural heritage and mountain solidarity. Today, the hut is in need of restoration, and that's where you come in!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated on a camp site in the commune of Puy-Sanières, in a large shady area where tents (supplied by CONCORDIA) will be pitched to provide shelter from the elements. Access to WC and covered kitchen. Telephone reception, but no WIFI. Meals are prepared either in the covered kitchen. You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animators and you will participate in the shopping and preparation of meals, giving priority to healthy and local products.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: No skills required, just a lot of motivation and adaptation to the project. The conditions can sometimes be extreme, people with already experience in this type of project would be preferable.
Deadline: 09/07/2025 00:00

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
