What do we expect?

You're a perfect fit for us if you already have kitchen experience – ideally in fine dining. A completed apprenticeship is a nice bonus, but not a requirement. What's much more important to us is that you're passionate about working with and for our guests – just like we are. (P.S. Our guests are truly wonderful!) We're looking for people who can unleash their creativity with a smile and conjure up special moments on our guests' plates.

What else is important to us:

• The position requires German and English language skills appropriate for communicating with guests and colleagues.
• Creativity – yes, you've come to the right place. We're looking for minds who can bring their ideas to life on a plate and create unforgettable culinary experiences for our guests.
• Friendliness and open-mindedness – that makes everything easier and more beautiful.
• Loyalty – because that's what we are, too.
• Structured work is invaluable in everyday kitchen life.
• Openness towards guests – with us, they also like to get to know the people behind the scenes.
• Team spirit – we help each other.
• And that you simply enjoy your work.

& what we offer you:

So that you can get to know us a little bit beforehand, here is our short "resume":

• Our house was built in 1960, and we are now running it in the 3rd generation as a family – with 30 rooms & suites.
• Many of our regular guests have been coming to us for years and have long since become part of the family or true friends.
• Our team consists of many young, dedicated people who are happy to have you with us.
• So you're never alone; here, everyone helps each other out.
• Fun shouldn't be missing at work.
• Our motto: If you don't know something, just ask. Better to ask too many questions than too few.
• We'll start a few days before the season begins so we can prepare in peace and get you properly trained.
• And of course, you'll benefit from the Ischgl CREW Card: many discounts, a heavily discounted season ski pass (so your time in the bathroom is guaranteed to be anything but boring!), and plenty of opportunities to meet new people and participate in cool courses.
