Love travel? Love the mountains? Join our ski team

VIP SKI was established in 1989 in the living room of our Managing Director, Andy Sturt (well, his parent’s living room to be honest!). Since then, Andy and the rest of our team have been on a continuous journey to continuously enhance the quality of our holidays. We are relentlessly ambitious and always searching for like-minded individuals to join our happy and inspiring community.

The team is made up of 25 full time professionals and around 200 dedicated seasonal staff looking after over 8,000 guests each winter season. Our Sales, Marketing, HR and Finance teams are predominantly in the UK, whilst our Operations Team are based mainly in France.

Work with VIP SKI

At VIP SKI we recruit for two different types of roles: winter seasonal positions in our Alpine resorts and occasional permanent roles supporting our properties and operations.
Please choose the option below that best describes the role you are interested in.

Winter Seasonal Roles (Most Applicants)
Work a ski season in the Alps as part of our resort team. Roles include Chalet Hosts, Chefs, Hotel Managers and Childcare Assistants. Recruitment takes place each summer between June and October for the following winter season.
Unlike most ski operators, VIP SKI organises all work visa formalities on your behalf before you travel, removing a significant administrative hurdle.

Permanent Roles
From time to time we recruit for permanent or long-term roles, typically supporting the maintenance and operation of our chalets and hotels in the Alps. These roles differ from seasonal positions and are suited to candidates looking for longer-term employment rather than a single winter season.

If a vacancy is listed below, please apply using the Permanent Roles Application Form.
