📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The objective of the project is to maintain and recover the old roads and path of the “Vall de Siarb”, and publicize the importance of the conservation of this heritage. The participants will know the uses and customs of the path and will understand the original meaning of rural roads and rural life. This project aims to give a boost to the idea of transforming the “Vall de Siarb” into a future “road museum” and an open participatory living museum. The museum will show and remember the past of the Pyrenees on a social and cultural level, through recovery, preservation and restoration of the path.
The technical work that will be carried out in the field of work and in general consists in:
- Road clearing: mowing grass, bushes, which grow in the spring to leave the roads comfortably passable on foot.
- Remove stones from the road and rebuild sections of dry stone wall.
- Review the tracking marks of the paths with paint.
- Activities about the flora and fauna of the area.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation is a terrain called "Llavaners", the campsite is at 1000m altitude near a small river and very isolated in the middle of nature. You should definitely be eager to have a (somehow) wild experience!
You’ll be spending your days in a campsite and camping and sleeping in a tent. There are 2 dry toilets near the campsite. There’s no showers available at the camp (but quick-baths in the river). The volunteers are in charge to cook and there’s no WiFi at the campsite or electricity (no phone charge available). Llagunes village is by foot, about 2h walking and Sort 5 km away.
🎒 Leisure activities
The activity to be implemented is the construction of a road museum that also has the support and involvement of the Ecomuseum of "Valls d’Àneu" with the participation of international volunteers. The volunteers will be trained and supported by professionals in the field and also will be some other volunteers from the surrounding that will teach and accompany the volunteers in their experience.
