I agree. This job did not come to my mind yesterday, although I have seen many times people working in chalet's and in hostels. In fact, I know one person who has worked in a chalet and did like it.

You basically look after the chalet for guests that are on holiday, but you still get plenty of time to hit the slopes in the afternoons and you always meet loads of nice people, some of which end up being lifetime friends. The pay is also pretty reasonable compared to a lot of resort jobs, like plongeurs etc. It's definitely suitable for a gap year break to make the most of the ski season.

They are a <a href="http://www.scottdunn.com" rel="nofollow"> luxury tailor made holidays </a> company and found them to be excellent in finding me the right job in the right location.
