We are proud of what we do and genuinely care about our guests and everyone we work with.

We are currently seeking Chalet Hosts to work in La Plagne, La Rosiere, Courchevel and La Tania. If you like the idea of an independent smallish ski company who value the people who work with them and listen to what they have to say then we would like to hear from you.
