Description
Team events can be arranged for locations in Alpine and pre-Alpine regions of German-speaking Switzerland, French-speaking Switzerland, or Italian-speaking Misox.
Assignments are available between May and mid-October. An alternative date will be agreed with you in case of bad weather on the original date (two dates per assignment). The weather check is usually carried out four days before the first date. The exact dates must be defined together with the project management.
Please note that the quoted price is for a group of 5 volunteers. Each extra volunteer over this is an additional 120CHF.
In addition to the event costs, companies make a program contribution of CHF 1,500 to the Caritas Switzerland Mountain Assistance program. This provides direct relief to mountain farming families in difficult life situations by placing individual volunteers with them, and provides assistance to the family for around one month.
