Staff testimonial - Kylie Chalet Chef | 2024-20245
"What a season it was! I have just completed my second season working in Meribel and the first for Delicious Mountain as a Chef. The chalets are beautiful! My kitchen was amazing to work in, and with every appliance I could want as a chef.
I was given creative freedom developing the menu for the season alongside the other chef. We had two weeks training at the start of the season which was great for learning the dishes, service steps and also great for team bonding with a fun wine tasting and fondue day.
The team was well staffed ensuring the day to day jobs were done efficiently and to the high standards Delicious Mountain strives for. When I wasn't working I had plenty of free time on the mountain to ski and enjoy the many restaurants in the Three Valleys. I made great friends within the team that I'll keep in touch with!"
Staff testimonial - Tom Chalet Driver | 2024-20245
"I have had the most amazing time working for Delicious Mountain in Meribel for my first season this year. It was a very delightful and fulfilling experience from beginning to end. The administration was helpful, friendly and sincerely concerned about making sure the staff and guests had a wonderful season.
Working a season with Delicious Mountain allowed me to completely immerse myself in the breathtaking surroundings and lively environment of Meribel, which is an amazing place. The organisation provides a fantastic work-life balance so that we could enjoy the mountains, and the skiing and snowboarding opportunities were undoubtedly a key highlight. A good time is always indicated by how quickly the season passed!
I truly valued Delicious Mountain's encouragement, the connections made, and the welcoming environment. Although it is a professional and well-run enterprise, it nonetheless had a warm and friendly feel. Anyone searching for a fulfilling and unforgettable season at a stunning ski resort should definitely consider working for Delicious Mountain. I am so thankful for the chance, and it was a truly remarkable experience.
Delicious Mountain, thank you for a season that will never be forgotten, I will be here for the next."
We asked our team members... What sort of person makes a good Delicious Mountain team member?
You need to enjoy having exceptional attention to detail, have an approachable friendly manner and take satisfaction from keeping everything in the chalet in order. Being a bit of a perfectionist will certainly help; standards are high whether it's with the food, organisation or with cleanliness - you should take great satisfaction from nailing all your duties and be able to laugh when the inevitable happens!
You also need to be good at "reading the guest" and establishing what kind of host they want you to be. Sometimes you need to be a gentle listener that is happy to show interest and have conversations about just about anything. On other occasions you'll need to adjust to being a quiet part of the background delivering excellent service and allowing the guests to relax in their surroundings... or maybe you'll need to be the life and soul helping mixed groups to feel at ease in one another's company.
Nevertheless, you should always be a happy positive person no matter what the weather: it keeps the guests, the team and yourself happy!
A structured and methodical approach to your workload in the early days will help you establish the routines that will make all parts of the job become second nature. Given the nature of interacting with new guests each week, having an outgoing personality is going to make your life much easier! You'll also need this to make friends around resort. As much as you love your teammates, you'll probably want some time apart and having other friends is crucial.
