French-speaking Rep in Tignes - next ski season 2026/2027

French-Speaking Resort Rep and Reservations Assistant in Tignes - next ski season 2026/2027

About the Role:

We are seeking an enthusiastic Resort Rep and Reservations Assistant to join our welcoming and dynamic Reservations Team at Chalet Chardons in Tignes. This is a fixed-term position starting this autumn, running through the winter ski season and concluding in April 2026.

Who Are We?

Chalet Chardons is an independently owned ski chalet company that has been offering exceptional ski holidays in the French Alps for over 20 years. We specialise in providing catered ski chalet holidays that deliver outstanding value for money, operating across the world-class resort of Tignes. Whilst the majority of our guests are British, we are proud to welcome a diverse international client base from across Europe, North America, Australia, and beyond.

What Does the Role Involve?

This is far from your typical 9-to-5 office job. Based in Tignes, this role offers a work schedule designed to give you ample time to enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and other alpine activities, thanks to our split-shift system.

You and your team's primary responsibility is managing all guest bookings, supporting and communicating with guests all the way from the initial point of contact and confirming their booking right through to their departure after their holiday. This role requires impeccable communication with the operations and chalet teams to ensure they have all the relevent information to host our guests and give them the best possible stay. As a resort rep as well, you will be responsible for building relationships with suppliers in resort and having a solid knowledge of the area so that you can offer any help and advice to guests and chalet teams.

Key tasks include:

Whilst these are the core focuses of the role, there may also be opportunities to get involved in marketing tasks — including social media management and seasonal marketing campaigns — depending on your skills and interests.

Working closely with and reporting to the Director of Sales & Marketing, the ideal candidate will be a proactive, organised, and customer-focused individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
