Working for Hunter Chalets
Frances Attwood
Chef
“I’d never worked in a chalet before and was excited, but not quite sure what to expect. Training in the first few weeks was great and made me gain confidence and know-how for the upcoming winter season. I had the best time in Morzine with Hunter Chalets, and made friends and memories for life. I enjoyed it so much that I returned for a second year!”
Imogen Asser
Chalet host
“I was a chalet host and found that we had a great team atmosphere. At times, the work was hard but it was always very rewarding and fun. The combination of different shifts really complimented the seasonaire lifestyle, ensuring that you get a lot of skiing in, but also a couple of lie-ins a week. I was also able to meet lots of like-minded people who I am fortunate to still be friends with today.”
Joe Silson
Driver
“I worked as a driver for Hunter Chalets. It was a great experience, as I enjoyed the interaction with both the guests and fellow employees and feel I made friends for life. This experience also gave me the opportunity to snowboard for the first time, as well as the experience of living away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hunter Chalets as an employer.”

Working for Hunter Chalets
Craig Smith
Chef
“After working a ski season many years ago, I decided to try working as a private chef in a chalet. I was a bit nervous about working directly in front of the guests, but after the training, I felt a lot more confident! After the first week of guests, I found it more relaxed and the management team was always there if we had any questions. I also had some great hosts working alongside me, made friends and had the best time snowboarding! I returned for a second season!”
Emily Shannon
Chalet host
“I am delighted to say Hunter Chalets is a great company to work for. As a chalet host, I was granted opportunities such as cocktail classes during the training week, which simply demonstrates how they go above the standard of other employees. Fin and Wendy are very supportive and made the transition from moving away from home exciting. I fully recommend working for this five-star company.”
Rory Hardie
Driver
“My winter season was made very special thanks to Hunter Chalets. We were looked after exceptionally well. As a driver, the role was diverse and busy. A highlight was getting to know the guests each week. Central to the role was being on the ball with the logistics of each pick-up, as guests need to be delivered to their chosen location quickly. Fin and Wendy were an absolute pleasure to work for. They oversaw activity across the resort and kept morale high throughout the season. If you want to return home at the end of April having had a sensational season and strong sense of achievement, Hunter Chalets is the company for you.”

A. The chalet kitchens are open-plan residential kitchens which have been purpose-built for catering with, for example, double ovens. We also provide equipment such as sous vides, table-top fryers and ice-cream makers. You will be expected to bring your own knives.
Q. As a chef how do I budget and where do I source ingredients?
A. You will be given a set budget per person per day and it is your responsibility to manage that budget throughout the season with guidance from our management team. There is an excellent range of providers within Morzine and the surrounding towns where the majority of ingredients will be sourced.
Q. Will I work in the same chalet for the whole season?
A. Our chefs, senior hosts and hosts will most likely work in one chalet for the majority of the season, however, there will be some weeks when you will work or be sent to assist in a different chalet depending on guest movements and weekly bookings. You should be flexible and adaptable to change in this respect.
Q. Will I get to ski/snowboard much?
A. Absolutely! We want our team to enjoy everything the mountains have to offer. Morzine is a fantastic place to spend a winter season and we provide you with a ski pass so you can make the most of it! We want everyone to come to work hard and ski hard!
Q. I have never skied/boarded before, does that matter?
A. No, not at all. We have had previous staff who have never been on snow before and we have had staff who have done many seasons before. Either way, by the end of your season you will be a natural! You can take advantage of lessons when you arrive but we would advise that you try to get some experience before you come, purely from a social point of view so that you can join the others who can ski right from the beginning.
Q. I don’t have any previous hospitality or house-keeping experience, can I still apply for a senior host position?
A. Not for this position. This role requires experience and will suit someone who has an existing career path in hospitality and an ambition to progress within this sector. Please see our chalet host and driver positions, which do not necessarily require previous experience.
Q. I don’t have any previous hospitality or house-keeping experience, can I still apply for a host position?
A. Yes, we provide full training at the start of the season so you will be trained on all aspects of service. That said, it would be ideal to gain some experience working in a high pressure busy environments such as a bar or popular restaurant to give you some valuable work experience.
Q. Will I be working along the typical catered chalet ‘split shift’ style?
A. No. At Hunter Chalets we offer a 24hr service to our guests, therefore our staff work different shifts on different weeks, including split shifts and day shifts. Having worked chalet seasons ourselves we have developed what we believe to be the most enjoyable way of working for our staff. Working different shifts gives you variety in the job, as well as meaning you not only have days when you can ski/board but you also have days when you will be able to go out at night or have an all important long lie-in!
Q. Is it possible to apply as a couple for your ski season jobs?
A. Yes, absolutely! We have had many couples in our teams over the years. If you would like to work together then one of our Serviced chalet host positions would be ideal where you host one of our properties together without the need to cook dinner. Or working together as one of our resort assistants. Alternatively we have had many couples that have worked as chef/senior host. Senior driver/senior host or resort driver/host, your shifts may be slightly different but we always ensure you have at least one day off together each week.
Q. I don’t have three years driving experience, is it possible to apply for a resort driver position?
A. We prefer our drivers to have three years experience minimum, however, if you have had a job that has required you to drive regularly and/or drive minibuses, vans or HGVs, we would be open to discussing the role with you. Please state as such in your covering letter.
Q. As a driver will I be working at/for one chalet?
A. No, our drivers service all of our properties and therefore have the most customer-facing role in the company. You will meet and interact with guests from all of our catered and self-catered properties.
Q. As a driver will I be collecting guests from the airport?
A. No. Our drivers provide an in-resort service, taking guests to and from destinations within the resort. We use professional transfer companies for our airport transfers, so you will not be required to do this.
