ROOF FRAMEWORK WITH A VIEW

CODE: CONCF-41314

Work

Join us in the village of Puy-Saniere to breathe new life into a hikers' refuge perched above the stunning Serre-Ponçon lake. Nestled in the wilderness of the Southern Alps, this rustic cabin was once used as a refuge for hunters in the Ecrins massif. Today, surrounded by pine forests and overlooking turquoise waters, it serves as a shelter for hikers and is a symbol of rural heritage and mountain solidarity.
Last year, a group of young people tackled the walls of the cabin, which is missing a frame and a roof, and that's where you come in!

Accommodation and food

You will be staying at a camp behind the city hall in Puy-Sanieres, where individual tents (provided by CONCORDIA) will be pitched, along with a large marquee containing kitchen equipment and a living area. Access to permanent toilets and solar showers. There is cell phone reception but no WiFi.
Meals will be prepared in the covered kitchen. You will share various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the facilitators and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation, with priority on healthy, local products.

Location and leisure

Puy-Sanieres is a commune in the south of France located near the southern flank of Mont Guillaume (2,552 m), at the southernmost tip of the Ecrins massif. It is located in the Hautes-Alpes department in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region, near Lake Serre-Ponçon.

The hut site is located a few kilometers from the center of the village of Puy-Sanieres on land mainly devoted to gentle tourism activities. The work camp will be punctuated by leisure activities, such as discovering the region and its specialties, hiking, swimming in the lake and other sports activities, as well as activities to meet the local population.

Partner

Together with the Parc des Ecrins, Concordia has decided to set up an initiative in the Puy-Sanieres area in the heart of the mountains. This Concordia project is part of an overall project by the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur delegation to work in the transalpine and Franco-Italian zones. Our aim is to highlight the need to restore dry-stone huts for workcamps.
