MOUNTAIN MAKERS FOR A GREENER TOMORROW

CODE: CONCF-46903-TEEN

Project and work:

Join a committed project in Valloire, one of the most beautiful places in Savoie!
Your mission ? Contribute to improving the living environment by building steps on a hiking trail. Supervised by professionals, you will discover environmentally friendly development techniques and work with materials adapted to the site's specific conditions.

Accommodation and meals:

You will be accommodated in individual tents provided by Concordia at the Valloire campsite, with access to on-site toilets and showers. The municipality will provide a community hall, located less than 200m from the campsite, where a kitchen and common living area will be set up for meals and group activities. You will share various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the facilitators and you will participate in shopping, favoring healthy and local products and vegetarian food as much as possible. Free Wi-Fi hotspots will be available in certain areas. The establishment also has a washing machine (at your own expenses)

Location and leisure activities:

Valloire, located in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, spans 17 hamlets in the heart of the Maurienne massif, near the Italian border. The main village, at an altitude of 1,400 meters, offers an ideal setting for mountain lovers. For hiking enthusiasts, there are numerous marked trails to explore, including one leading to Lake
Cerces, which offers spectacular views. Several lakes with swimming areas allow you to cool off on hot summer days. Heritage enthusiasts can visit iconic sites such as the Fort du Télégraphe and the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church, a listed historical monument.

Partner:

Since 2022, Valloire has been working with Concordia to organize international volunteer work camps. This partnership is based on shared values: solidarity, civic engagement, and heritage preservation.
