More details
The role of chalet host / chef involves a number of tasks. First and foremost your role will be looking after and catering for the guests in Chalet Union and the cleaning / changeovers at Chalet Bear, two adjoining chalets. At chalet Union this involves providing breakfast 6 days per week, daily housekeeping, afternoon tea, and evening dinner service as well as co-ordinating their transport schedule throughout the week with the rest of the Chamonix All Year (CAY) team and doing some in-resort driving too. As such, you will also be responsible for liaising with the CAY Resort Team to sell our products and services and ensure all concierge requests (e.g. ski lessons, activities etc.) from the guests are fulfilled with the CAY team and then communicated back to guests. Chalet Bear will predominently be rented self-catered, but from time to time may be rented as catered and so the same hosting duties will apply.
For both chalets, on change over days (normally Sunday) you will be responsible for the full cleaning and changeover of the chalet and will be supported by one other person. There will also be one shopping day per week plus potentially one top-up shop.
