Chalet Manager

Location: Val d'Isère or Tignes

You will manage all aspects of running one of our luxury chalets. Your main responsibilities will be guest satisfaction, employee performance and upholding chalet appearance/ standards. You will lead your team to oversee all housekeeping duties, service, driving and ensuring the guests are well cared for throughout their stay.

You will be expected to establish and maintain a warm and friendly atmosphere within the chalet, so that guests can enjoy the high standard of personal service, for which Alpine Culture is renowned.

Our hope is that every guest will experience superior service in every aspect of their holiday, especially in the chalet. From making sure their room is perfectly clean and well-presented every day, to engaging with them about their day whilst serving them with a tea, coffee or usually champagne after a long day on the slopes. This is one of the best opportunities to make a positive impact and interactions such as this, as well as the outstanding service, is how we make their holiday one they will not forget. We expect you to go over and beyond to exceed their expectations of what a chalet holiday should be.
