What is a seasonal job in the mountains?

Seasonal jobs in the mountains follow the peaks in tourist activity, mainly in winter and summer. During these periods, Resorts welcome a large number of guests, which creates an increased need for staff, particularly in hospitality, food and beverage, entertainment and sports. Club Med therefore offers temporary jobs on seasonal fixed-term contracts, often renewable from one season to the next. With the wide range of services offered in the Resorts, mountain seasonal workers need a strong ability to adapt and must be versatile. Working in the mountains also means adjusting to a unique work environment at altitude, with specific weather conditions. Seasonal jobs in the mountains offer fast-paced, intense, but above all exceptional and unforgettable experiences.

The skills you need to work as a seasonal worker in the mountains

At Club Med, guests and team members come from all over the world, so speaking several languages, including English, is essential. It makes communication easier, but it also helps build connections and deliver a personalised, upscale service true to the Club Med spirit.

Beyond qualifications and professional experience, personal qualities make all the difference. Interpersonal skills are among them, and they are fundamental at Club Med. A strong customer focus and active listening are essential to fully meet guests' expectations. They make it possible to deliver excellent service in a particularly demanding setting. Seasonal workers, in the mountains and elsewhere, must also be highly independent and able to handle the unexpected with calm, empathy and efficiency. Unpredictable weather, a sudden influx of guests or a technical incident all call for responsiveness and initiative. Being a seasonal worker in the mountains means constantly adapting, with a smile and the desire to make every guest's stay unforgettable.
