Come and learn about permaculture in the sumptuous setting of the Aravis mountains by
participating in a garden redevelopment project!
The Youth Hostel of La Clusaz welcomes all year long many tourists who take advantage of
their stay to discover the beauty of the surrounding nature and to practice many outdoor
activities. The hostel has created a permaculture garden which reflects the local biodiversity.
The garden is an open space, accessible to all, and allows the observation of nature, to
recharge one's batteries and to understand the interactions between ecosystems. During this
first volunteer workcamp, you will work on the redevelopment of the garden from the existing
one and you will be able to create additional arrangements to offer an additional
embellishment (wood or stone construction).
No specific skills are required. If you are sensitive to the preservation of the environment in
the mountains and you like to work in a team, this workcamp is for you.
You will be accommodated in the Youth Hostel, in dormitories with individual beds
(remember to bring your sleeping bag). The toilets and showers will be in the rooms or on the
landing. Breakfast will be offered every morning by the youth hostel. Together, you will
participate in the organization of the collective life (cleaning, activities...) and in the
preparation of the meals, in turn, from products which will be bought nearby. We wish to
encourage vegetarian food with local and seasonal products while respecting the diets of the
participants and discovering together the local cuisines. You will be in contact with the clients
of the youth hostel, which will reinforce the exchanges.
The youth hostel has Wifi in the common areas.
With a breathtaking view on the Aravis valley and the Mont-Blanc, the Youth Hostel of La
Clusaz is located at 1250 meters of altitude. Accessible on foot, by bike or by car, the
establishment is close to the center of the resort which offers many amenities (shops, local
and health services...). On site, outdoor activities are numerous and hiking enthusiasts will
be delighted by the opportunities offered by the alpine massif. Many excursions are also
possible: Annecy and its lake, Chamonix Mont-Blanc, Aiguille du Midi... Of course, you will
not escape from the tasting of the local gastronomy with a special mention for the cheeses!
The proximity of the Annecy train station and the Geneva airport, both located about 40
kilometers away, will facilitate your trip. Buses also serve the resort regularly.
Concordia has been collaborating with the youth hostel network for three years in the context
of volunteer workcamps. This partnership is developing this year with a new project within
the establishment located in La Clusaz. It is with the desire to strengthen the international
and intercultural dimension of its activity that Clement, the director of the hostel, wanted to
welcome a group of volunteers. The environmental dimension is also an issue at the heart of
the priorities of a tourism that is evolving under the effect of climate change.
Project open to French, German and Ukrainian volunteers. This project is supported by the
Franco-German Youth Office (OFAJ). A part of the travel expenses of the participants will be
reimbursed after the project upon presentation of the original travel receipts.
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 them, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
Remember to take clothes and shoes for work, not fearing dirt.
In the mountains, despite the sunshine, the weather is surprising and can change quickly.
For leisure activities, it is necessary to bring clothes adapted to the climate (fleece or warm
sweater, shorts and hiking pants, windbreaker, down jacket, warm socks...). For hikes, shoes
with a high and notched upper are recommended. Don't forget sun protection (hat or cap is
essential, sunglasses with a high protection factor because of the intense reverberation,
sunscreen with a high protection factor IP 30-50...) and a bathing suit for swimming or white
water activities.
For accommodation, remember to take a warm sleeping bag and a towel. You should also
bring a backpack (in addition to your luggage), comfortable sneakers and a pair of flip-flops
for your movements in the youth hostel. It will also be useful to bring these essential
accessories: a cell phone charger, hiking poles (not mandatory but recommended), a water
bottle, a set of bandages and a headlamp or flashlight.
Friendly times will be programmed in collaboration with our leaders and according to your
desires. We will organize thematic evenings in each country. If you wish to share a bit of your
culture (cooking recipes, traditional stories, unusual objects, music...), do not hesitate to take
a little piece of your country/region in your backpack.
