Ski Olympic is an independent winter holiday firm with chalets and chalethotels in only the best snow-sure French resorts of Tignes, Val d'Isere, Courchevel, Meribel, Les Arcs, La Plagne, La Rosiere, and Les Menuires.

The 2008/2009 season will mark our 21st year of operation. Our loyal customers come back with us year after year because of the excellent service we provide and our friendly, enthusiastic staff.

As a medium-sized independent firm, we expect our staff to work very hard, but in return we provide you with the opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience; working in a spectacular setting, meeting interesting people, forging friendships that will last a lifetime, and (if you do your job properly) the chance to get on the slopes 6 days a week.

We are proud of the very competitive package that we offer our staff and the fact that so many return to work with us year after year. All of our new hires are personally interviewed in the UK prior to staff training in France at the beginning of the season.
