Company info

Tesla's Valley is led by a cheerful group of four people – two married couples. Among them are two psychologists, a medical technician who is also a mountain rescue team member, and a teacher who is also a pedagogue. Each of them has contributed to the creative development of this Robinson-style camp through their personal experiences. Tesla's Valley was born out of good energy, a desire for something different, and an offer that will leave you breathless! Our motto is: Disconnect to RECONNECT!
