Personal Profile

Working in a professional bar and restaurant with a team of professional chefs is hard work so this position requires stamina, attention to detail and passion for good food.   The Lodge Host should be versatile, as they will gain valuable international hospitality and customer service skills.  The Lodge Host must also be robust physically as the work is very physical – with many stairs to climb every day and cases of food and drink to be handled as deliveries arrive and service commences.

A season in France with Black Diamond Lodge is an exceptional experience, which many of our team repeat. We are a small organisation which means everyone has a vital part to play - and there will be plenty of time to enjoy the mountain.  Our season starts in early December, running through to late April.

Black Diamond Lodge is one of the premier accommodation providers in Sainte Foy and it is our aim to ensure the service received by guests is similarly the best available in the Alps.
