Following up from this STW video and article last month, we've got some paid and volunteer opportunities to join the Trans-Savoie crew this summer in the Alps at the end of August.
If anyone is looking for a good reason to spend a week in the Alps that is more constructive than a regular "riding holiday" - and who wants to meet up with like minded new riding buddies, this might be just the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We are particularly keen to hear from:
- Aspiring Videographers and Photographers who can also handle a bike themselves, who are keen to join our media crew to shoot in some of the most jaw-dropping scenery you'll find access to on two wheels (see the article, above, if you need to visualise this claim!)
- Ethusiastic "adventurous" bikers who have excellent navigational and technical riding skills and are used to big days in the backcountry. First aid or medical training a bonus.
Paid roles are subject to legal requirements of working in France (Visa, Brexit, etc).
Volunteer roles all include travel expenses to and from France, plus all accommodation, food, and lift passes etc are covered during the event.

Supported volunteer stuff doesn't count as paid work and require a work Visa?
Omg... "doctor on a bike in the alps" is my dream!

@Wbo the rules on this are somewhat complicated - but the short answer is no, so long as their involvement is genuinely on a voluntary basis & any expenses are fully accounted for, (as opposed to being paid indirectly and are not strictly necessary for the role, ie as "benefits in kind").
As mentioned above, anyone on the crew in a role which might be considered as "work" in the event of scrutiny, we'll create a paid role for that and register it (with the French equivalent of) work & pensions, pay the social security charges, and check the right to work etc. (I.e. this would exclude British Passport holders who don't have the right to work in the EU)
