About the job Flagship Chalet Chef | Winter 2026-27

We’re looking for talented and enthusiastic chefs to join our team; typically candidates for this role will have a background of working in Michelin star restaurants, luxury yachts and exclusive private residences; if this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
