How to apply
What's it like to work for us?
“Doing a season in Rebs has been amazing!!! It’s a perfect ski location, and a good mix of chill and fun, as we’re so close to VT for nights out. It’s been such a family feel, and the whole team have become friends for life!”
“I thoroughly recommend doing a season with Ski Famille, the managers are so lovely and the working hours are very fair, I feel like I’ve had so much time off compared to other companies, which has meant it’s felt like we’re really here to enjoy ourselves!”
“Been an amazing season with amazing staff and skiing. Feel so lucky to have had such an incredible experience.”
“We honestly had the best management team. It was one of the things I was most nervous about going into the season, but they made everything so easy, were so supportive and truly built the best team.”
“All the chalets are less than 5 minutes away from the slopes, and then you have the biggest ski resort in the world at your feet. If you are keen, you can go skiing literally every single day.”
