PROJECT
Through the extensive use of the terraces around Alp Flix since hundreds of years, a unique moor- and cultural landscape with high-level moors, fens, hayfields and alp meadows has been formed.

The nature park “Parc Ela” is managing a project in order to rebuild traditional dry stone walls. Alp Flix is moorland that is under national protection. It includes different protected fens and high-level moors in accordance with the federal law.


WORK
The volunteer-task is to repair and build dry stonewalls. Experts of dry stonewalls will show you how it’s done. Be aware that the work is physically demanding and you have to stay outdoors all the day.

Volunteers live and work in a wonderful region of alpine moorlands in the Parc Ela. The village Sur is on 1500m altitude. Almost 500m higher is the working-place the Alp Flix where four fami-lies live the whole year. In summer 160 cows and cattle join them. –Transportation to the work-ing-place by mini-bus. - You can reach the location by bus from Chur, Tiefencastel or St. Moritz to Bivio (or Sur).
