WALK LIKE A WOLF
JURVIELLE, FRANCIA
Attività principali
Come and discover Jurvielle, a small village in the Pyrenees mountains and its lovers’ path, that will delight volunteers looking for a green break!
The village of Jurvielle, the local NGO, and the Pyrenees National Park want to restore this path, which runs through the Luchon Valley. This 1.3 km-long path is currently accessible, but your mission will be to beautify it! From creating materials to raise public awareness about local flora and fauna, to building outdoor furniture (tables, wooden benches, etc.), re-marking the path, building a small wooden bridge, and creating a calade (a traditional stone path), you'll be doing many different tasks. All these tasks aim to improve access to this area and to highlight the work done to preserve and maintain this path. Guided by experienced leaders skilled in these various techniques, you'll be able to express yourself freely and let your imagination and creativity flow throughout the project. Rooted in the local culture of environmental preservation, this project will also allow you to learn about these issues in a concrete and in-depth way.

Scopri JURVIELLE
Jurvielle (population of 23 inhabitants) is located in the Haute-Garonne department, in the heart of the Pyrenees. Located 15 minutes from Bagnères-de-Luchon and 45 minutes from the Spanish Pyrenees, this charming little Pyrenean village is quite secluded. Come and reconnect with nature in this small village nestled in the mountains. Numerous hiking trails are accessible on foot, and you can also discover the local flora and fauna thanks to the residents who possess extensive knowledge. This project will allow you to completely disconnect, with plenty of opportunities to relax in nature.
