    Intentamos vivir en armonia con la naturaleza, algunas de las habitaciones son de barro y paja y de cubierta vegetal para hacer menos impacto medioambiental, la luz electrica la hacemos con placas solares.
    Tenemos gallinas, 8 ovejas, perros y gatos.
    Intentamos ser autosuficientes con nuestro huerto de verano y lo que no podemos cultivar en casa lo compramos en una coperativa local.
    Trabajamos la madera, tenemos plantas medicinales, artesanias y hacemos deporte como escalar, bici, esqui...
    El trabajo consiste en cuidar los animales, el huerto, hacer leña, limpiar el bosque, hacer bigas, hacer vallas con ellas, construir nuevos habitaculos para los animales, reparar la casa...
