Summer 26

We employ up to 80 staff each season which gives Alpine Elements a unique advantage in offering the chance to work summer or winter and, if visa restrictions allow, back-to-back seasonal opportunities. With a variety of positions available, we are the perfect company to choose whether you are looking for a career progression or a one-off seasonal experience.

We are fully compliant with all immigration laws, therefore we welcome all nationalities to apply that have an EU passport, a right to work in France in the form of a CDS, or are from a country where you can obtain a visa. We are one of the few companies that assist UK applicants to complete their visa paperwork, meaning all UK passport holders are welcome to apply, however the recruitment process has extra steps to obtain your visa and work permits. The majority of our guests are from the UK, therefore it is compulsory that all applicants are fluent in English to be considered for a position.

We are an active company, and we whole heartedly encourage our staff to get involved in mountain activities. Regardless of whether you are new to a sport, or a seasoned pro, we are confident you will find a home in France. We offer an encouraging environment for all levels of experience in a company where we actively look to promote from within.

Our recruitment process is designed to see the person behind the CV. Our personal approach enables us to achieve your goal of working a season, and making the most of that season, whilst delivering excellent guest service. We are looking for passionate applicants who can balance a demanding position whilst maintaining a good work/life balance.
