About Program
Vorarlberg is the westernmost state of Austria. It borders three countries - Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The mountainous landscape is famous for skiing in wintertime and hiking in summertime. The Biosphere Reserve Grosses Walsertal is located in Vorarlberg. It is a model region for sustainable development in the alpine area, and was certified as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The volunteers will intervene in order to speed up natural regeneration of flora and fauna. Besides, the volunteers will maintain the system of hiking paths in the valley Grosses Walsertal (cutting grass and bushes, renewing steps and railings, signposting).
The work will be physically hard in parts and the paths might be steep and far away from the accommodation! Please be prepared to work outside under each weather conditions!
