Run by chalet hosts, for chalet hosts. The Hive was established by friends who met doing seasons and want to pass on their knowledge and expertise so that many more chalet hosts can have enjoyable seasons in the Alps and beyond.
Here at The Hive Cookery School we teach aspiring chalet hosts how to be the best in the business and secure top jobs in the industry.
Based in the stunning Vanoise National Park in the French Alps, The Hive operates throughout the summer, training aspiring chalet hosts how to be the best in the business. We'll teach you everything you need to know about how to run a chalet efficiently for your benefit, for the benefit of your potential employers and, most importantly, for the benefit of your future guests.
We work closely with the UK's leading ski tour operators and can start helping you to find a suitable job from the moment you sign up for a course. About half our students join us having already secured a winter job, but many come out without having yet applied. In both cases, we can help you along the way and offer advice on CVs, Covering Letters and Menu Plans. Competition for jobs is fierce in this industry, but each Hive student will have a head start in the recruitment process.
Dear Chris, I just wanted to say Christian really enjoyed his two-weeks with you. He has come back really confident and was pleased he could cook well. Thank you for all your help and encouragement, he has come back much happier with himself!
"Dear Chris, Thank you so very much for all the help you gave me over my week at The Hive! It's safe to say that was an amazing week! One of the most enjoyable and memorable weeks I have had in a long time. Thank you once again."
