Our internship in the Dolomites!

Our internship in the Dolomites!

This summer Melissa and I spend our time in South Tyrol and worked there three months for our internship. We decided to go to the hotel Cristal in Obereggen which is 1600 meters high above the sea level. But how did we get to this Hotel in the Dolomites? Our Italian teacher recommended us this working place. 

On our arrival we thought the time won’t pass because it was a VERY small village with about 90 inhabitants. Our first day at work was a little bit confusing because our work mate Alexander arrived quite late for work. The accommodation we stayed in for the time of our placement was part of the Hotel and it was quite a nice room. 

The main tasks we had to do were bringing the people coffee in the morning and take away the dishes from the table. After having breakfast, we had to clean up the buffet and the dining hall.
Setting the tables for the evening was also part of our tasks.
In the evening we had to serve the dishes of the four-course menu and make wine service in front of the guests. 

We learned much in our internship for example always being polite, punctual and honest. And you always have to be hardworking too.

We recommend our placement because the working mates and the hotel directors are very nice people and we were allowed to do a lot tasks.

So maybe you will make your next internship in the Hotel Cristal and improve your Italian skills.

Thank you for reading our blog and have a nice day!
