Working as a member of our kitchen team. You have a passion for cooking and a desire to learn new skills quickly.
Job Details
Working as a chalet host in our catered chalets. No experience necessary. Some customer-facing experience an advantage.
Job DetailsYour working week, throughout the season, will vary but on average it will work out at 40 hours. Certain weeks, during the season, might be busier than others. Start & end dates depending on your availability, with the possibility to extend to winter season.
The rota will be organised at the beginning of the season and if any changes are made you will be notified at the weekly team meeting or by your manager at the earliest convenience (for example somebody is sick, and you need to replace them).
We will provide you with a training, after which you will be responsible of making sure our guests enjoy their holiday.
Each day, our meals (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner) will be prepared in our central kitchen, and served to our guests in the comfort of their accommodation when they've chosen a catered holiday.
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 time off 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!
It's not all about work here at Mountain & Tradition. We know that Les Gets and its surroundings are an outdoor wonderland. And, we want you to enjoy it, just as much as our guests do. While certain times during the summer season can be particularly busy, others allow amply opportunity to head out and grab a few hours in the great outdoors.
We provide a high-level of service that is only achievable when our staff are relaxed and satisfied. Your time off is as important as your time on... enjoy them both.
Since we first founded the company, improving our production systems and quality of service has been at the heart of the business. This is not only to improve the experience of our customers, but also the workplace experience of our team — by creating easy-to-use and effective procedures which are applied throughout.
We are committed to regularly communicating environmental policy objectives and action plans, and we expect each of us — in the context of our daily activities and the monitoring of our projects — to implement and apply the principles and actions defined in our environmental policy. You can find more info throughout our website and our Environmental Policy.
This is not your average staff accommodation. At Mountain & Tradition, we know the importance of having a space that is comfortable and practical — a space that you can call your own. It also helps when it's super stylish and modern!
With all the facilities and features that you'll need throughout your stay. Spaces designed with couples and solos in mind.
Located in the Alpine Lodge building, right in the very heart of Les Gets village. 400m to the the main Chavannes Express chair lift, 150m from the nearest bar and restaurant. Two bedrooms, and access to a courtyard.
We are here all year round and run our company hands on. You'll be working with us directly in all areas of what we do. We are here to work with you, and offer training and support throughout your time. If you have a passion for cooking, or you are hoping to make a career as a chef, then working with Raphael is a great step forward. One of the best chefs in the Alps, Raphael has worked across Europe, including in the two Michelin starred Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud in Dublin.

There are costs involved when applying for the visa. And when you pick up your permanent titre de séjour, you will also need to pay a local tax.
