We are working with a luxury chalet operator in St Anton to find a Chef and Host couple to run one of their intimate chalets, catering for up to 12 guests. This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced couple to take full ownership of a small, characterful chalet, delivering a warm and personalised guest experience from the kitchen through to the front of house.

Working together as a pair, one of you will lead the kitchen and the other will lead the hosting, while both remaining flexible and hands-on across each other's areas. The chef will help with service when hosting larger groups, and there is no rigid front-of-house/back-of-house divide — both of you will interact directly with guests throughout their stay. You will be part of a wider resort team of around 30 staff, working within a well-established and supportive company structure.

Live-in accommodation is provided in a three-bedroom apartment in the centre of town, just across the road from the chalet, shared with two other members of staff. A dedicated driver team supports the resort, so no driving duties are required in this role.

You MUST hold an EU passport.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and prepare breakfast, afternoon tea and a multi-course evening dinner for up to 12 guests
  • Deliver a warm, professional welcome and food service to guests throughout their stay
  • Run the chalet together as a team of two, covering both kitchen and hosting duties
  • Assist with front-of-house service for larger groups, moving fluidly between kitchen and hosting duties
  • Interact directly and confidently with guests, creating a relaxed and personable atmosphere
  • Maintain an open-door approach to the kitchen while keeping service organised and efficient
  • Oversee ordering, stock control and food budgeting for the chalet
  • Maintain the cleanliness, hygiene and presentation of the chalet to a luxury standard
  • Manage guest requests, dietary requirements and special occasions with care and flexibility
  • Liaise closely with resort management and the wider team of around 30 staff
  • Support colleagues across the wider chalet portfolio as required during busy periods

Ideal Candidate

  • EU passport holders
  • An experienced couple able to work closely together in a small, intimate chalet environment
  • Winter season experience strongly preferred
  • Chef with solid restaurant or chalet experience
  • Confident, personable and comfortable engaging with guests throughout the day
  • Strong command of English
  • Professional and adaptable, able to slot into a larger resort team
  • Flexible approach, happy to step outside strict role divides when needed
  • No driving licence required

Package

  • Working schedule: full winter season
  • Live-in accommodation provided – shared three-bedroom apartment, town centre, across the road from the chalet
  • Salary: €3,650 – €3,950 net per month combined (depending on chalet and experience)
  • End-of-season bonus and tips earned throughout the season
  • Ski hire and lift pass
