Work with us
Mountain Chefs provides some of the highest quality private chef services in the French and Swiss Alps.
We are a private chef booking service offering high-level domestic catering across the 3 Valleys, Val d’Isère & Tignes, Les Arcs & La Plagne, La Rosière, Chamonix, Megève, Morzine, Avoriaz, Verbier and Zermatt. We require excellent chefs with incredible attention to detail and fluent English who communicate well with clients to work with us during the winter season. All chefs operate on a freelance basis.
Before you apply
To work with Mountain Chefs you must have all three of the following. We can’t provide or arrange any of them.
- Your own transport. A car to get yourself, your shopping and your equipment to chalets in the resorts you work in.
- Your own accommodation. Somewhere to live in or near those resorts for the time you’re working. We don’t provide staff housing.
- The right to work in the EU or Switzerland. For example an EU or Swiss passport, or a valid visa or work permit for the country you’ll be cooking in.
If you don’t have all three, please don’t apply yet, as we won’t be able to offer you work.
If you do, please complete the form below, telling us where you’re based and which resorts you’d like to work in. We will be in touch to ask for your CV and references.

Mountain Chefs is a UK booking service. Chefs work as independent freelancers and are responsible for their own right to work, visas, permits, insurance and tax in the country where they cook, as well as their own transport and accommodation.
Your own Mountain Chefs chef app
Every chef who joins Mountain Chefs gets their own chef app, on their phone. It’s where you keep your availability up to date, receive job offers that fit your dates, and see everything about each booking in one place: the chalet, the guests, dietary needs and the meal plan, along with your profile and documents.
We check availability in the app before offering work, so chefs who keep their calendar current are the ones we offer jobs to. That’s why we ask about your availability below.
