Why work for Alpine Ethos
Choosing the right company in the right location can greatly affect your enjoyment of your season. We are extremely proud of our reputation for providing the highest levels of service for our guests and we aim to do the same for our staff. You’ll enjoy a great deal of autonomy in the menus you provide and the way you work together to provide the best experience for your guests. There’ll be plenty of time for skiing - typically 5 hours each day and your 2 full days’ off - plus Méribel is a fantastic seasonnaires resort. There’s probably a reason why a third of this season’s team will be rejoining us in 23-24 ….. be part of that team.
