As a Walk Organiser you become a member of our resort team and would spend half of your time out on the hill accompanying guests on our ‘Organised Walks’.
The other half of your time is spent in resort. The Walk Organiser role is not an outdoor job in the traditional
sense. It is a hospitality job with a great outdoor element. Along
with our Chalet Host/Chef couples, the Walk Organiser’s main
commitment is to looking after our guests in the chalets and all of
the behind the scenes chores (except the cooking) which go into the
smooth running of the chalets on a day to day basis.
As a Walk Organiser you would spend roughly half of your time on
Outdoor Days, when you accompany guests on our 'Organised Walks',
and the other half being spent on Domestic Days.
Domestic Days involve the day to day domestic chores required to
keep our properties running efficiently. In the morning this would
involve - making packed lunches, serving breakfast, cleaning &
room changeovers, kitchen assistance etc. After a few hours free in
the afternoon evening duties would start again just before 6pm at
‘Office Hour' (where we advise our guests on activities and ideas
for the next day) then Dinner Duty, where we act as kitchen
assistants to the Chalet Host/Chefs, serving and washing up, and
most importantly as Dinner Hosts to our guests, eating with them,
hosting the dinner party, enjoying the convivial atmosphere and
sharing in the fun of this daily event.
Once a week or so you would also be on Welcome Duty from 3:30pm,
greeting arriving guests, doing some paperwork with them and
settling them into their accommodation. Another weekly job might be
an airport transfer down to Venice and back, in a 9 seater minibus
on mountain roads and some motorway.
Outdoor Days involve accompanying guests on our Organised Walks,
reminding them of what to bring, showing them the way, looking out
for their safety and welfare en route, chatting, getting to know
them and enjoying each other's company as you walk. Later you would
attend Office Hour again, sorting out their plans for the next
day.
These are the days on which you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery
that surrounds us in the areas in which we are based in the company
of our guests, who, like you, are likely to have a passion for the
great outdoors. These walks are the opportunity to really get to
know our guests. The experiences shared and life stories divulged
form weekly relationships which enhance the experience of everyone
back in the chalets, guest and staff alike.
