Ski Jobs - What are they

Working in a ski resort is a great way to spend the winter months. Every year thousands of people work a ski season in the European Alps and other worldwide ski destinations. Ski resort jobs offer a unique seasonal employment experience lasting for anything from 2 weeks to 6 months.

Ski jobs are usually live-in jobs with accommodation and meals provided. There are jobs available at chalets, hotels, bars and restaurants in hundreds of resorts all over the alps. Ski jobs usually start in late November / December and run through until the snow starts to fade away in April / May.

Ski jobs in the alps are normally only available to UK / EU nationals or non-UK / EU nationals with a valid work permit. For further info on work permits and eligibility click here.
