HomeAwe platform is offering a volunteering opportunity in Ski Hostel: Liddes, Switzerland.
Yes it is possible now, you can learn how to ski in the Alps in Switzerland for free if you volunteer in a ski hostel.
all you need to do is housekeeping for few hours a day and then you are free to do some amazing ski with other guests and volunteers from all over the world.
This type of volunteering helps you to travel cheaply - the program simply offers you the opportunity to travel to villages in the Alps in Switzerland and work as a volunteer in a hostel to support the hostel owners in organizing and managing the place (household management, cleaning, kitchen work and general maintenance). You can enjoy the breathtaking snowy nature and visit some beautiful Swiss, Italian and French cities on the border, along with volunteers from around the world. In addition, you have the chance to ski for free at 4 different mountain locations in the Alps, with free skiing lessons and equipment provided (the ski equipment will also be provided for free). You need to purchase suitable skiing clothes before arrival.
