Chalet host cookery courses

A cookery course is a fantastic way to prepare yourself for a season working in a chalet in the Alps.

Choosing a course which has a specific focus on chalet hosting can be invaluable, as you’ll not only learn culinary skills enabling you to have confidence cooking for larger groups, but some extra chalet essentials like minimising food waste, dealing with dietary requirements, and tips on cooking at altitude.

Below are some of our recommendations…

Run by Mel Lowe, Snowcooks offers a fantastic 7 day residential course in a real alpine chalet in Peisey in the French Alps.  This makes Snowcooks a great option for a realistic chalet host experience!

The course not only covers the various aspects of chalet catering, but you’ll also learn about extra chalet practicalities like hosting, managing guests, housekeeping and welcome speeches.
