Chalet Host jobs for a ski season

We hire around 100 hosts to work in our chalets, hotels and CLUB chalets. Whether you are looking to run one of our smaller chalets on your own or if you would like to work as part of a team in our (larger) hotels and CLUB chalets; we have positions suited for all.

Our hosting teams are made up of charismatic, gregarious individuals who provide the primary interface between our guests and VIP SKI. Our classic chalet hosts will need to be passionate about cooking and have had experience throwing dinner parties of their own. We are also looking for experienced waiters and waitresses to work in our hotel in Arc 1950.

The Chalet Host, CLUB Chalet Host and Hotel Host roles are arguably the most important roles in resort as they provide the primary interface between our guests and the Company. We cannot overstate the impact our hosts have to the success of our business and more importantly, the enjoyment of our guests' holiday. Our hosts are responsible for delivering our service promise in the chalets and as such, full commitment to the role is required.

Chalet Host And Flexi Chalet Host

Resorts Role Available: Avoriaz, Les Arcs, Morzine & Val d’Isère

The Chalet Host is responsible for delivering our service promise in the chalet, and full commitment to the role is required from start to finish. Your day will start with wake-up drinks served to guests in bed first thing and will finish with clearing the table and cleaning the kitchen after dinner at night. As the name suggests, a flexi chalet host carries out the role of a chalet host but is based between different chalets in resort according to bookings.

We do not actively look for qualified chefs or cooks, although a passion for cooking and confidence in throwing dinner parties for at least 8 people is a necessity. We can help you to become more confident with your cooking; we cannot train you to have the drive, enthusiasm, and sheer dedication to customer service that we expect: that is up to you.
