Work: Volunteers will help out in the botanical garden. The work can vary, but people have to be aware that it can be physically demanding.

With a peaceful location 300 meters above Davos this traditional hotel is reached by a short ride on the Schatzalp funicular from the main street and enjoys glorious panoramic views across the valley.In their leisure time volunteers can go for a hike in the nearby mountains. There are many hiking trails close by. It is also possible to take the cable car (free) to go down to Davos and have a look. One afternoon, the responsible gardener will guide the volunteers through the botanical garden and one evening he will hold a presentation. Partner: In the beautiful region of Davos (Schatzalp) there is the „Alpinum", a huge botanical garden in the mountains.
