Auvergne's volcanoes have been extinct for a long time, but here we offer you a workcamp on fire, building up a pizza oven and a big brazier!
The Grand Volcan Youth Hostel, located in Le Mont-Dore, welcomes visitors from all over the world in a spirit of sharing and interculturality, at the foot of the spectacular Sancy volcano. In order to reinforce the exchanges and the spirit of conviviality of the place, the team of the Youth Hostel offers you to participate in the development of the outdoor spaces.
Your goal is to build a large pizza oven and a stone brazier next to the existing barbecue in the garden. First you will have to prepare the land and build small dry stone walls. The oven and the brazier will have to fit in with the landscape as much as possible. You will spend about 30 hours a week on this work site alongside a technical leader who will teach you various manual techniques and how to use tools. The work will be diverse and the good vibes everywhere!
You will be accompanied by two camp leaders throughout your stay.
You will be comfortably accommodated in the wooden chalet of the hostel, with its cosy atmosphere. Sleeping accommodation in a dormitory of 8 places (men and women separated) with WC and shower. If you wish, you can bring your own tent, an outdoor area is reserved for this purpose.
Half-board accommodation (evening meal and breakfast at the hostel). You will share the various collective tasks and prepare lunch together in the shared kitchen. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the preparation of meals, prioritizing products from the market and local producers. Wi-Fi and washing machines available on site. You will be able to take advantage of the various services of the place: bar, library, “chill” area, game room, outdoor playground, garden and barbecue.
In the middle of the Auvergne volcanoes and at the foot of the highest peak in the Massif Central, the Puy de Sancy (1,886 metres), the youth hostel welcomes nature and mountain lovers in a chalet sheltered from noise, heat and pollution. All mountain activities are within reach in winter as well as in summer: skiing, hiking, nature sports, discovering the culinary specialities of the Auvergne, ...
The town of Le Mont-Dore is a tourist attraction and is very dynamic in the summer, during which many sport and cultural events take place. It is also a spa resort renowned for its mineral waters and unique thermal gases, which are particularly effective in relieving respiratory issues.
If you suffer from the heat in summer, we particularly recommend this site where you can sleep in the cool of 1,200 metres above sea level!
The Grand Volcan Youth Hostel is a member of the United Federation of Youth Hostels, the French link in the Hostelling International. This network includes more than 3,000 youth hostels, 80 of which are in France.
The network's youth hostels provide accommodation accessible to the greatest number of people, where encounters and intercultural exchanges should enable those who stay there to be enriched by the differences of each other. From these encounters and from the intercultural dialogue between young travellers, peace can be created.
It is with this objective in mind that Le Mont-Dore Youth Hostel contacted Concordia to host an international workcamp. In addition, the hostel is committed to an ecological approach, with the international Green Key label, which rewards tourists’ accommodation for their dynamism in terms of environmental management. Concordia and the Youth Hostel share the same values!
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
Bring work clothes and working boots, a backpack, swimwear and hiking boots. Bring warm clothes for outdoor evenings, a bed sheet and a sleeping bag. You can also bring recipes from your home country, musical instruments and games. You will get around Le Mont-Dore by foot, car and occasionally in minibus.
