📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Salecina is located at the border of Upper Engadin and Bergell in one of the most beautiful landscapes. It is a self-administered holiday centre with an uncomplicated and open atmosphere. The guests cook, clean and do their own things. The house is available to young and old travelling alone, as families or groups eager for education or engaged in social issues. It is a unique place for meetings and discussions. Together with the municipality Bregaglia we offer this workcamp. Bregaglia is an idyllic alpine valley that connects the canton of GraubEnden to the north, with Italy to the south. Steep, elegant granite mountains and beautiful forests protect the small villages rich in art and history. It is a paradise for hikers and mountain climbers, but also a quiet refuge for artists.
💼 What the programme involves
The work will involve mainly repairing and fixing of the hiking paths in the surroundings of Maloja. We will work in the vicinity of Salecina fixing outside benches, weeding sorrel planting beds and berries and we will also root out neophytes in Maloja with Pro Natura (Swiss nature protection organization).
