We are now fully recruited for winter 2023/24

Why choose Alpine Ethos

Alpine Ethos is a small, independent, owner run chalet company. We have been providing excellent chalet holidays for many years and realise the importance of happy staff. We look for a team of super friendly, experienced, like minded people in order to create a wonderful working environment for our team. We strive to work together so that staff and guests have the best possible experience in the mountains. Our managers have extensive experience of all roles, and have a can-do attitude, always on hand to help the team with the day-to-day running of the chalets, a supportive team effort for the best experience for our guests.

Working a season in Meribel or La Tania

Meribel and La Tania are both part of the extensive 3 Valleys ski area, which is (in our opinion!) the best place to work a ski season. Being located right in the centre of the 3 Valleys ski area you will have the largest linked ski area in the World on your door step. In addition, Meribel and La Tania both have an amazing array of bars and restaurants, with plenty of live bands to enjoy, there really is something for everyone.
