Well its that time of year again folks. Midsummer and time to start dreaming of 2012.
If you like the idea of living in a chalet and skiing all season, but dont like the idea of working a six days a week, you might find this offer interesting, which has proved popular for the last 3 years.
We are a private family of 4 living in Switzerland, we have a private chalet that we only use on the weekends and swiss school holidays.
We would like to find a couple of helpful volunteers to help look after it (and us) for the winter season, not just as house keepers but people who love to ski as well.
Simply speaking, that means helping out on weekends and in turn getting the rest of the week for yourselves to ski or whatever.
The chalet is in a well known resort in central Switzerland. Local Skiing (70 km sq) is literaly 50 yards from your door. Other famous ski areas such as Engleberg, Wengen, Grindlewald, Murren , Gstaad, Andermatt,Adelboden are within easy reach.
Accomodation is inside the chalet in a fully segregated 2.5 room appartment.
and at your disposal. During the week of course you can use the full facilities of the chalet when it is empty.
Typically we would arrive most weekends on a friday night, and leave Sunday evening. We would expect you to help with regular household chores, cooking, cleaning, occasional child minding (ages 6 and 9) , ski teaching, and other helpful activities ensuring a stress free weekend. In return you get a whole week to do what you like. (Ski).
Occasionally we may have house guests, and school holidays mean we would stay for longer periods which is an extra work load, but not a disaster.
Im pleased to say that even on the busiest weekends mostly there is time enough for everyone to get on the slope - sometimes together - sometimes not..
heres a flavour of last season
We would like to hear from genuine applicants, preferably a couple, naturally you should be capable of doing all tasks above without difficulty.
I would like to make clear this is not a job offer, there are plenty of Tour operators offering 6 working day week jobs in commercial chalets, if that is what you are looking for, look here instead
Plenty more information can be provided on request for genuine applicants, I will do my best to answer most questions in thread to save repetition.
Or you can PM me if you wish to remain private.
There is always a fair size response to this thread, but generally I try to respond to every application.
Thanks
Nix.
