Love the mountains in Orobie Park!

Volunteers will be asked to take care of pathways in the area of Castello Dell’Acqua. These paths are very important because each of them leads to old mills and ethnographic sites. Moreover, being near to a natural park they are used by excursionists. Volunteers will have to cut and collect the grass, remove shrubs and assist local volunteers’ groups who are going to collaborate to the maintenance of the woods. In the period of time in which the camp will take place, some running competitions in the area are programmed. Volunteers might be asked to signalize the paths and assist the organization of the competitions.

Volunteers will be hosted in an apartment in the city hall of Castello dell'Acqua. The apartment has 8 beds but there is enough space to add a folding bed. The diet will be vegetarian.

Volunteers will be shown all the places and costumes of the local farming culture. Teglio, a well-known locality famous for the making of Pizzoccheri, is near Castello dell’Acqua, as well as Tirano. People living in Castello dell’Acqua are really looking forward to welcoming volunteers from all over the world and will gladly help them with their tasks. The group will also enjoy some excursions in the surrounding woods. The closest airports are: Milan Bergamo Airport, Milano Malpensa Airport and Milano Linate airport. From there you can take shuttle buses or a train called Malpensa express (from Malpensa airport) that will take you to Milano Centrale station. From there you have to take the train to Tirano (not Torino!!) and get off in Tresenda-Aprica-Teglio railway station. null
