Independent chalet firm require chalet couples (chef and host). We offer an above-average salary, end-of-season bonus, free accommodation & lift pass plus other benefits. 

At Alpine365 we’re looking for experienced and enthusiastic couples (or two friends) to run and manage our four chalets in Les Arcs & La Plagne. If a couple, you will ideally be married, or have been together for at least two years. One of the couple will be a chef, the other will be our chalet host/hostess – you would between you be responsible for managing an individual chalet.

The chef will be professionally trained, with proven experience in restaurants, and be able to cook to a very high standard for anything up to 16 guests, six days of the week, throughout the season. The food should be presented beautifully, and work within a specific budget.

The chalet host role will involve looking after our highly valued guests, making them feel welcome and happy in the chalet that will become their home for the week. Your main role will involve maintaining extremely high standards of cleanliness, which will involve daily cleaning throughout the chalet. You will also be “front of house” at meals, ensuring that the quality of the food delivered by the chef is matched by your levels of service. Previous experience in catering and hospitality is a real bonus, but not a pre-requisite for an applicant with the right level of drive, a positive outlook to work, and an ability to get on with people of all ages, from children to grandparents.

• Offering warm hospitality and looking after guests during their stay
