Behind the Scenes with VIP SKI: Crafting Culinary Excellence

Meet Laura, Catering Manager Extraordinaire

At VIP SKI, delivering exceptional dining experiences is at the heart of our hospitality. From sourcing quality ingredients to perfecting presentation, there’s meticulous care behind every dish. In this post, we’re excited to introduce you to Laura, our Catering Manager, who leads the charge in making every meal memorable.

Laura oversees all aspects of catering across VIP SKI’s portfolio of luxury chalets. Her multifaceted role includes managing supplier relationships, developing new recipes, and ensuring stock availability and quality control.

"Food plays such an important role in the chalet experience," Laura shares. "We use guest feedback from March to reflect on what worked well and to bring fresh ideas into the next season’s menus."

VIP SKI chalet hosts receive extensive training designed to develop their skills as ski chalet chefs. They are provided with detailed cookbooks and learn everything from basic culinary techniques, like chopping an onion, to mastering the art of plating and serving elegant dishes.

This comprehensive preparation ensures our team can consistently deliver delicious meals that exceed expectations.

At the core of the catering training program is the comprehensive VIP SKI cookbook. This invaluable guide includes menus designed to accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences and children’s food options. Plus detailed instructions for preparing meals from scratch, with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients.

"Everything is cooked in-house, from fresh and as locally sourced as possible," Laura explains. "We teach our staff to prepare nutritious, delicious, and beautifully presented meals because we know how much the dining experience matters to our guests."

Our hosts are trained to cook with confidence, creativity, and care, ensuring every dish contributes to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that defines a VIP SKI holiday.

VIP SKI’s focus on food goes far beyond just meeting expectations, it’s about creating a memorable highlight of each guest’s holiday. Thanks to Laura’s leadership and the dedication of our chalet hosts and ski chalet chefs, guests enjoy a dining experience that is fresh, flavourful, and thoughtfully prepared.
