Your Ultimate Guide to an Unforgettable Ski Season

If you’re browsing Season Workers, chances are you’re dreaming of spending a winter working in the mountains - skiing on your days off, living in a beautiful alpine resort, and becoming part of a buzzing community of like-minded seasonal workers.

One of the most popular and accessible roles you’ll see across the Season Workers site is Chalet Host, and with good reason. It’s fun, sociable, varied, and gives you a true taste of resort life. But before you pack your bags, getting the right training can make your season smoother, easier, and far more enjoyable and that’s where a Chalet Host Course comes in.

So… what does a Chalet Host actually do?

A Chalet Host is at the heart of the guest experience. You’ll be:

• cooking breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner
• welcoming guests and helping with queries
• keeping the chalet looking its best
• managing daily routines and schedules

It’s a hands-on role, but it’s incredibly rewarding — and one of the most recommended entry-level roles shared by both employers and experienced seasonnaires on Season Workers.

With so many people applying for winter roles through platforms like Season Workers, having training under your belt makes you stand out immediately.
