Details
Description
We are based in the beautiful French Alps - in the mountains which are just half an hour away from Annecy.
We run an 18 bedroom chalet-hotel located in a small village of St Jean de Sixt which is just outside the ski / summer resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand. Our main season for guests is the winter ski season - but during the summer months we have some DIY and maintenance projects to complete (as well as offering our cycling and walking holidays)
We have been here for over 10 years and enjoy the stunning mountains with everything they've got to offer. We love walking, running, biking and skiing here and think we're really lucky to have everything on our doorstep. We are also really close to the medieval town of Annecy and its beautiful lake, great for swimming, kayaking etc.
We tend to be a lot quieter in the summer and need to get a couple of projects finished in preparation for winter, our busy season, which will come round soon enough! That's where we need your help...
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Help around the house
Hospitality/Tourism
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Its a lovely village location on the edge of two larger resort villages - which are very traditionally French and maintain and balance a very traditional mountain way of life (cows, agriculture, cheese-making) alongside the more modern tourism. industry.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage
This host offers accommodation and payment.
Help
Ideally suited for a couple - we will be looking for help with the general upkeep of the hotel and garden as well as possibly getting involved in a few improvement projects. We try to offer an interesting mix of tasks and to offer both indoors and outdoors projects.
One aspect of the roles will be to assist with the daily housekeeping and laundry work - and so some experience of cleaning would be a big bonus.
In addition it is likely to include a mixture of property and garden maintenace (weeding, cutting lawns) and basic DIY. Tasks may include painting and other general DIY and maintenance tasks within the chalet or hotel.
We obviously provide all tools, equipment etc. and any prior skills or experience you have would be a real bonus... but not essential. We want keen people, ideally with an eye for detail and attention to detail who can work un-supervised.
For Summer 2019 we will be looking for workaways throughout June, July, August and September...

English: Fluent

Accommodation
We have a couple of choices for accommodation. Our preference for couples if to offer you our cosy "Petit Chalet" which is a small independent wooden chalet in the grounds. Here you can be independent and it becomes your home from home...
The other choice would be staying in a self contained apartment which feature 2 bedrooms, bathroom, a living room and kitchenette. We will provide all bedding and towels.
We will provide all food during your stay. Sometimes this will be cooked as communal meals with other team members, although you should be expected to cook for yourselves (but we will provide the foodstuffs).
What else ...
There are lots of outdoor opportunities so if you love cycling or walking then this is paradise. Lots of trails, footpaths to explore. Buses can take you to the lovely town of Annecy (30mins) and its lovely clean, warm lake. Villages are all open and running but its not massively busy... so best for those with a love of nature and the outdoors and an independent spirit!

I stayed with Paul and Jess for 4 weeks in November. I stayed in a room in the hotel which is en suite. It was warm and comfortable. It was before ski season started so the village was really quiet. It's within walking distance of 2 other livelier villages (3 kms). I was there from Fri Oct 30th until Thursday Nov 26th. There are many walks to take… read more

We spent a month in the Alps with Paul, Jess and the team. Everyone was very welcoming and we immediately felt at home. The accommodation was comfy and we were kept topped up on food, all we had to do was ask and it would appear. The work was varied which kept it interesting and enjoyable. The hotel is located in a lovely village with beautiful… read more

I apologize for leaving a feedback to so late! I had an amazing time with Paul and their crew. Everyone I met was so kind and considerate with all of our work and wanting to show us the community in St. Jean. It was my first time doing a workaway and they made the transition to Europe so easy and flexible. We had great communication, and will… read more

We were very luck to have Nicole come and help us with a renovation project - and it turned out she was a great painter (walls and radiators!) She worked very hard and had a great commitment and work ethic to get the job done and with a good eye for quality... She was very flexible and good to have around - absolutely no trouble and very easy… read more

I stayed at the chalet for a few weeks in September/October and had a great time: I stayed comfortably in one of the guest rooms on the annex, there was always an ample supply of food, there is heaps of outdoorsy stuff to do in the area (and this is the perfect place to get advice from the specialists on where to go depending on your taste...) as… read more

Carola was an enormous help to us, and a pleasure to host. She worked very hard and with a great eye for detail. The quality of her painting was excellent and she would often work longer hours to get the job done. She was very flexible and easy going, and independent. Thanks to her the bar and reception is looking a lot fresher and brighter. Good… read more

I visited Paul and Jess back in September and I couldn't have had a more perfect first workaway experience. They are a lovely couple with a great business. They really made me feel at home and would go back in a second. I wish I could've stayed longer as its a really beautifl part of the world
