Ski Resort Jobs: Chalet Host Profile

• If you’re considering a chalet host job, it’s crucial to bear in mind that resorts will only accept applicants over 18 years of age. In some cases, the age criteria may be even higher, at 20 years of age.
• Chalet host jobs are amongst the most important of all ski resort jobs as they involve daily, direct contact with paying resort guests. Therefore, to succeed in this position, you’ll need excellent communication skills and respond in a positive manner at all times to holidaymaker enquiries.
• The duties of a chalet host can vary, but can include preparing breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner as well as ensuring the chalet remains in a clean, presentable condition.
• However, it’s essential to remember the fact that resorts and chalets can vary in size – some may host a small group, others may hold several families, so some chalet situations will be different to others.
• Generally, a chalet host can expect to cater to the needs of up to 12 people – other resort staff should be assigned to a chalet if a holiday party is larger than that figure.
• In terms of qualifications, few academic qualifications are needed to apply for this role. However, as a large part of the job relies on mealtimes, some catering experience may be required as meals should be of dinner party standard. Some mathematical expertise is also advantageous, as setting meal budgets will be a key part of this role.
