What It’s Really Like to Work a Ski Season – Captured on Camera

UPDATED:

Ever wondered what it’s really like to work a ski season in the French Alps? At VIP SKI, we’re giving you a front-row seat. Our in-resort filmmaker, Henry, has been capturing behind-the-scenes footage from our team – from morning routines and mountain moments to staff tips, chalet life and everything in between. Our resort teams have been sharing daily snippets too – from powder days and pancake mornings to firework displays and snow clearing. It’s your all-access pass to life behind the scenes.

Why we’re sharing it

At VIP SKI, it’s our people who make the difference. We know we’re not the only catered chalet company in the Alps, but what sets us apart is our team. That’s why we’re pulling back the curtain to showcase the real stories, personalities and passion behind the VIP SKI experience. Through video, we’re giving future team members an honest glimpse into the highs, the challenges and the unforgettable moments that come with a winter season in the mountains.

What you'll see

  • Staff Q&As and top tips for seasonnaires

  • A day in the life: from breakfast service to après ski

  • Moments of fun, teamwork and mountain magic (think sunrise ski touring sessions and fundraising events)

  • Real insights into childcare, hosting, chef and resort roles
