Waking up to snow-covered mountains. Welcoming guests from around the world. Working alongside an international team. And making the most of your free time on the slopes of one of Europe's largest ski areas.
At Mountain and Tradition, we're looking for enthusiastic English-speaking Chalet Hosts to join our team for the Winter 2026-2027 season.
Les Gets is one of the most charming and authentic resorts in the French Alps. As part of an amazing ski area, you'll have access to great skiing, a vibrant mountain community, and an unforgettable winter lifestyle.
This is not just a job. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in mountain life, develop valuable professional skills, and create lifelong memories with a team of like-minded people.
No two days are exactly the same, and you'll play a key role in delivering an exceptional holiday experience. Your day may include:
We will provide you with a full week of training at the start of the season. After which, you will be responsible for looking after the chalet and the guests. Our central kitchen will prepare the more complicated parts of the meals, and you will cook and assemble the simpler parts, and serve. You will also work some shifts in the central kitchen to help with the preparation of meals. Please note, a lot of cleaning will be required.
Your working week, throughout the ski season, will vary but will average 40 hours. Agreement would be from December to mid-April. The exact dates are to be confirmed near to the time.
A winter season with Mountain and Tradition will help you develop:
These highly transferable skills will benefit you in hospitality, tourism, events, management and many other future careers.
We believe in being transparent. This position involves a significant amount of daily cleaning, physically demanding work, variable working hours depending on occupancy, and the need for flexibility and adaptability.
Your season will ebb and flow:
We understand that each position within our organisation requires a unique set of skills and experiences. That's why, within each department, we allow individuals to find the perfect fit for their expertise and career goals. Our aim is to ensure that every team member is placed in a role that maximises their potential and allows them to flourish throughout the season.
The specific responsibilities, training, and remuneration will be discussed during the application process. We are here to guide you through the process, ensuring that you find the role that best aligns with your capabilities and ambitions.
We are looking for people to take pride in their work. Those who take satisfaction in a job well done, no matter if it's a job big or small. We are looking for those who can not only maintain our standards but help improve them.
We are all here because we love being in the mountains, and we want you to enjoy yourself here too. We've worked hard to design enjoyable roles that give you good ski time alongside your work timetable. Whilst we are at work though we expect everyone to take their role seriously. This is not a holiday, and we'd expect all our staff to approach their role in a dedicated and professional manner.
As a small company you may be involved in lots of different aspects of the business. You don't need huge experience, but you do need to be enthusiastic to learn and have a will to get stuck into all areas. Being part of a small company is great fun. There can be a lot of different challenges popping up and we are looking for people who enjoy getting stuck into everything, who can think on their feet have a can-do attitude!
