We are currently recruiting for outgoing professional individuals
with a mature outlook to join us in various roles for the Winter 2007/08
season.
Karibuni and Ski Weekender are a small independent ski and snowboard
chalet operator based in the French Alps, near the village of La Clusaz.
Our chalets are comfortable and homely with a very friendly feel. All
rooms are ensuite and we also have big lounges, TV rooms and spacious
dining areas as well as a large, well stocked bar and a fully functional
ski hire room in our main chalet. The skiing here is excellent with
over 220km of pistes. Offering everything from beginner runs to off
piste descents, there is something for everyone.
It is essential for our guests to feel cared for and welcome when on
holiday with us, whilst knowing that nothing they ask for is too much
trouble, and everything will be delivered with a smile! The key to this
is our carefully hand-picked chalet teams. Our staff are the face of
Karibuni and are consequently crucial in maintaining our strong reputation
as great holiday providers within the industry.
Our visitor book from the last few seasons emphasises how conscientious
and friendly our staff are whilst ensuring the high standards of hospitality
our regular returning guests have come to expect from us:
Dear Paul and Co
Just a brief note to thank you and your team for organising such a great
skiing break for us all at the Aravis Lodge. You made us feel welcome
from the moment we arrived at Geneva airport and nothing seemed too
much to ensure we had a marvellous time. We are now safely back home.
In fact we had such a good time we would all like to book now for the
same time next year! Please can you pencil in all of us (the Martins,
The Counsells and the Gorniaks) for Feb Half Term 2008.
Regards, Richard, Liz, Charlotte and Isabel Martin
We pride ourselves on having a friendly crew at Karibuni. Our core
team consists of 3 resort managers and a full-time chef couple for our
main chalet – the Aravis Lodge. The team represents a mix of ages
in a supportive and caring environment. We also have a lot of guests
who return year after year, most of whom are great fun.
At Karibuni and Ski Weekender we specialise in short breaks –
weekends from Thursday evening to Monday evening, or Mid-week from Monday
– Thursday. We also offer more traditional Saturday – Saturday
holidays as well. The majority of our guests are adults, although we
do provide special packages for Christmas and February half term weeks
which attract families with children. All our guest packages include
transport to and from Geneva airport, ensuite accommodation, breakfast,
afternoon tea and 3 course dinner with wine as well as lift passes and
ski orientation. We also fit skis on arrival in-house to ensure a maximum
service with minimum hassle for our guests. For more details about our
full range of packages and what we offer visit our skiing
section or our other website www.skiweekender.com.
If you enjoy working for a small friendly company with a great team
ethos then you may be who we’re looking for!
We appreciate that the key to our success is our people, so consequently
we try and match the enthusiasm of our staff with a generous benefits
package to recognise their hard work, including comfortable ensuite
individual accommodation, all meals when working, full season lift pass
with additional days of skiing at other resorts and use of ski equipment.
We need various team members - including:
- a friendly domestic couple
to support our team in the main chalet, keep the place clean and
tidy and make our guests welcome
- a hospitable couple to
take on the responsibility of their own smaller chalet, including
cooking, cleaning and hosting their guests
- a personable driver/ski host for airport and
local transfers, odd bar work and local resort errands
- a ski tech/bar person who has good
ski and board knowledge, is comfortable with a screwdriver and happy
to share relaxed evenings with guests in the bar
